#80858 Well i cleaned their tank out today and put 2 of them in, watched them for a while whilst doing other things. Came back and they were just lying at the bottom of the tank eyes closed and not looking good, i took them out and lay them on the bed i was absolutly shitting myself i felt so bad, i think the water was too hot. So i remembered reading up on a forum on how to do turtle cpr, sounds fucking sad but i saved their lives and a wee while later they were back to normal.

Was such a bad feeling seeing them curled up lifeless :cry:

Yeah man i thought it was a bit hot but because they were reptiles a thought it woulda been ok never knew it was hot enough to cook them! My g/f always tells me to watch out with that thank fook there ok.

Faded - couldn't get their mouths open so had to blow gently into their nose, and its not as if you can push down on a turtles shell so you have to move their front arms back and forth. If i can save turtles im sure i can save my eg lol :thumb:
