Maggie -
my turtle will hiss occasionally when I take him out of his tank. Does this mean he is not an adult? He is big (5 1/2 inches) and we thought he was probably somewhere around 3 years old, but I don't know for sure. The people at the pet store told us he was 3 months old!!! This was before I knew better. Just wondering what this means. I wouldn't be surprised if they fed the turtle so much he is now overweight for his age. :)

:NO adult turtles do not vocalize nor hiss that's just air escaping from them when they withdraw their heads quickly in fact if you hear your turtle wheezing it means that he/she has mucous or phlegm in their nose and that may be a symptom of illness
