Because they are not very energetic when alive, there may not be obvious signs that your pet has passed away. Plus, there is often a lack of warning signs when your turtle is ill, making it difficult to tell that he might pass away soon. Gently prod your turtle, with a soft stick or with your finger, to see if you can elicit a reaction. If your pet moves at all, then he is definitely alive. Still, if he seems slower or more lethargic than usual, he may be sick.However, a complete lack of movement can indicate that your pet turtle is ill or has already died.
