Methods for treating the rotten skin of the masked turtle:

1. Isolate it first to prevent the masked turtle from infecting other turtles.

2. Soak the masked turtle in salt water for a few minutes to achieve a sterilizing effect.

3. Pick up the masked side neck turtle, wipe the rotten skin area with iodophor, and then apply erythromycin ointment for treatment. Resting for a period of time can gradually restore it to health.

Methods to prevent turtle skin on the side of the mask:

1. Water quality. The water quality for raising masked side-necked turtles must be neutral or alkaline. If the water pH is lower than 6.0, rotten skin will appear. Do not use sunken wood in the breeding tank. Sunken wood will release a large amount of humic acid after soaking, which can easily cause the skin to grow. Causes turtle skin rot.

2. Bask your back. The Masked Side-necked Turtle likes to bask on its back very much, which can prevent skin problems. Slight rotten skin can be cured by basking on its back.

3. Environment. A stable, quiet, and close-to-natural environment gives turtles a sense of security and prevents stress-induced skin rot.
