My pet Cheeto is about 2 months old. He’s started shedding every now and then but I’ve noticed he has two areas on his feet where the skin under the scales looks exposed. I’m concerned. He’s a baby so I know he can catch stuff easily. It worries me e
I think this may be a repetition of a previous question. This could be due to a bacterial or fungal infection causing scale rot. Swab the infected area with a diluted povidone-iodine solution twice daily. Scrape away the infected area gently with a blunt tool or a cotton pad. If this time of first line treatment does not help and you do not see any improvement in 48hours a check up at your local veterinarian would be required as antibiotic ointment and more aggressive treatment may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.

I have always given my turtle ReptoMin for the past 14 years. Are there any other foods or treats i can feed her?
Why change a working system? You are obviously doing very well in the way you keep your turtle. Since apparently your turtle is doing well, it is getting everything it needs with the Reptomin. You could try offering it leafy greens, freeze-dried shrimp or krill, crickets, superworms, rosy red minnows and even pinky mice as an occasional treat.

I am in hopes someone can help me!! My dogs found a turtle in my backyard, and I am curious of its species. Can someone identify what it's species is? And if decided to keep as a pet, what is the best care for the little thing?
Thank you for using Boop by Petco. This appears to be a box turtle. Please do not keep this turtle as a pet, In most states it is illegal to do so, beyond that it is very difficult to provide adequate housing and nutrition for wild reptiles. Many species of box turtle are endangered or vulnerable due to human interference. http://www.boxturtles.com/box-turtle-conservation/ If interested in a turtle for a pet, I recommend you search for local reptile or turtle rescues in your area. box turtles and other species can live up to 50 years in captivity, so need a long-term commitment. But often end up in rescue when people can’t take care of them there entire lives

My bearded dragon named Rex has black spots on his belly and is acting normal and us craving attention but should I be worried
Thanks for reaching out about Rex and including a photo. Unfortunately you did not include a photo of the belly and black spots. But, Rex appears thin and dehydrated in the photo. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess health and to examine the black spots. Good luck.

My daughter has a turtle from school for the week. The teacher only provides food. How do we care for it?
Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco. Tau appears to be a red-eared slider (RES). He shouldn't need too much in the way of care (other than food) if you are only going to have him for a week. Here is a link to a RES care sheet. This may help to answer any questions you may have. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
