My female red eared slider turtle, Sunny, enjoys swimming. I have noticed that her left side of the caparace is ALWAYS alot deeper in the water than her right side. I tested this by putting her to bask to dry off, then putting her on the surface of the water. The left side of her caparace was underwater, while her right side was completely dry and out of the water. Is she alright? Is this normal?

Sorry for all the threads, but please help. Thanks.

thats sounds unusual but without seeing it I really wouldnt know. A vet would know though. You should probably give one a call.

Thank you, the vet was going to be my last resort if no one had an idea what was wrong. Thank you so much.

A vet should be your first resort, the health of your pet is paramount. Check out Herp Vet Connection or ARAV to find one in your area.

I just thought someone would know what was going on...

Unfortunately all even the most experienced of us can do is guess!
We may be able in many cases to narrow down a problem but only a vet can say for sure.
