Hello, I have found an Eastern Long Neck Turtle wandering around in my front yard. I believe it might have come from the Logan River here in Queensland. I live about 1km from the river. I guess it has probably wandered its way up here in all the wet weather we have been having. There are a lot...
Hope this little girl will be ok.
The local vet rang and asked what they should, so I picked her up to take
to the Karingal vet where Shane Simpson works.
The bridge of the shell has a crack,
which can sometimes mean internal damage and she has blood in her mouth.
Later today we will xray her...

I found this on the footpath this morning in the middle of sydney. Was under powerlines so i dont know if a bird had it and dropped it or where it came from. What the hell is it? Some sort of corn snake?
Just seeing if anyone knows what i should do about my turtle. His a Eastern Long Neck Turtle. And my other is a Murray River short neck. They were both in the tank and the short neck has attacked my long neck and taken a piece out of his shell, however i thought that was it but his actually...
