What do red eye aquatic turtles eat ?
As with other reptiles, they have a nictitating membrane that protects their open eyes.
You can only close one eye at a time because the muscles that control each eye's movement and blinking are separate and independent. This allows you to have better control and coordination over your eye movements.
i have a female turtle and it does not have red eyes. it has light green eyes and black stripes. i dont know about the rest of the turtles since mine is a red-eared slider.
The time differs, when you blink it is near a nanosecond, but you can close them slowly like as if you were falling asleep....
You could bye some turtle eye droppings to help or you could take it to a vet,if it's eyes start to Swell then take it to a vet imediantly
Certainly.
