    Hi, I have 2 juvenile concentric terrapins that are about 2 year old now. They both seem to be perfectly healthy, but one of them I believe may be overweight. I know that you are suppose to check the hind legs for skin hanging out and he actually does not have any hanging out from there. However, in the front legs his skin hangs out. I currently feed them every 2-3 days with reptomin. In their tank there are feeder goldfish at their convenience and I put cuttlebone in the tank as well. Is there anything wrong with my terrapin and how come only 1 of the 2 has the problem? Thanks. — Alex __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center – File online.

    My female was very overweight until I put a lot more water in her tank were she is always swimming in it she also has a place to rest but since she has all that water to swim in she lost all the weight. I don’t know how ur tank is set up but I have a 55gallon tank a floating basking area under the heat lamp so now she has alot of room to swim and she loves it . I have a 10″ northern diamondback female
