: Yesterday morning, one of my box turtles was laying out on the brick lifeless. His eyes were almost dried, not producing any junk, just as if they were drying shut. I have been feeding him baby carrots and water with electolytes since yesterday. I am also keeping him in a glass tank with a heating pad under him. (there is a towel between him and the pad and it is on low.) He is still lifeless. Doesn't move at all. I am going to take him to the vet in the morning, (if he makes it. ) I have a bird there now and it is an hour away, so I will make it a productive trip.

I know this is very soon after my original post, but I just went to check on my sick friend and he had since past away. :(
