  I have a baby painted turtle named Avery, as of now I'm not sure of its gender. I have UVB lighting on her basking rock, and keep the temperature at 80 degrees. It has calcium supplements, and I'm doing the best I can with it, as I've never owned a turtle before. Avery is two weeks old, and its shell is slightly soft. I've checked for rotting and pyramiding, but there are no signs of either. My questions are; 1. Is the soft shell normal? I have its UVB light on all day, although I turn it off at night. 2. What is a proper diet for baby painted turtles, is it the same as adults? 3. Am I missing any of the needs for Avery? 4. Do I need to buy vitamin supplements? 5. I change the tank once every 2-3 days, do I change it sooner? Things that I have for Avery: 60 gallon tank Filter UVB light that also provides heat Water thermometer Basking area where it can completely get out of water Water at 78-80 degrees most of the time (it cools down to 72 during the night but heats back up again during the day) Calcium bone chews (it is using them) I do not have a tank heater, but I am not sure if it's necessary due to the tank staying relatively the same temperature, but I plan to get one once winter hits. If you can help me I will be so relieved, I love this turtle and I'm willing to do anything possible to keep it as healthy as I can!

  Should I cut off this friend? I have this friend of mine that can be really selfish at times. It normally happens when hes drunk. He can drink on weekends and he drinks all weekend long. He just got a DUI a few weekends ago and he told me its his 2nd but I know hes still going to court for his 2nd DUI. So I think he lied to me there. His step dad died a couple weeks ago and he never even told me about it. He never told me when the funeral was. He came over the next day and asked me for gas money. I still helped him out because it was $10. Hes not the type of friend that would go out of his way for someone either. I remember I bought beer for us when we went to this party one weekend. Then the next day he didn't even give me a ride home. He excuss was hes too hung over so I took the bus. Also if he doesn't get what he wants from someone he can get mad at them. Hes done it to me and other people. I've been thinking about ignoring him from now on.

  I am 14. For the past months I've been experiencing an anxiety like feeling. I usually worry about things that shouldn't be worried about it shouldn't be worried about that much. Then everyday it keeps happening I keep thinking and then I over think and it could be positive but if it's negative then it will get me scared or have me keep thinking about it. And everyday I fidget or walk around non stop back and forth and when I do I think. Good or bad. I think. Most of the times I overthink and I don't want that feeling. And I can't sleep well at night and I stay up late. Not like through until the middle of the night but my bed time is usually around 10:30 or suppose to be but I usually fall asleep between 12:30 to about 2 the most. Then when I wake up everyday I feel like I need to sleep in more because I'm tired and sleepy still. That's just one problem with my sleep. The other is that I'm afraid sleeping by myself in the dark. I just think if I try to sleep peacefully then I would hear whispers or I would feel something rub on me and open my eyes someone would be there. I believe in ghost but that experience never happend with me. Meaning I know it won't happen but my anxiety is taking over making me scared and rarely panic sometimes to where I have my mom sleep with me. Or I sleep with the lights on. And next one is my ear. I think I might either have the mineres disease or tinnitus or whatever because for years I've been hearing ringing in my ears or left ear mostly . but I figured it was normal but now since I gotten smarter and mature I decided to look up what it was. But I still hear it til today like this moment. Usually at night it gets loud. But on a daily basis I can hear it but it's no big deal. I just want to get it checked out just to be on the safe side. Rarely it goes to both of my ears or spreads but mainly it's been on my left ear. It might also be on my right ear but not as much but Idk. All I know is that I hear ringing like 24/7 and there has come times where I ignore it and forget it's the

  Emergency Question!!! So at Saturday 12/3/16 I was looking in my hermit crab cage. I have two hermit crabs. One small one named Claws, I had the longest (Since August 2014) which was very active but never moved shells it's whole life. I even had a bunch of shells of different sizes for both crabs to molt in. Never even molted neither. Then I have Shelly, which is a bigger one and lived since October 2015 but is shy and never looks out of its shell unless it gets food or water. So on 12/3/16 I looked in my cage and I found that Claws (the small active hermie) was laying out of his shell looking like he was exhausted. I went to pick him up and he fell right out of his shell. I was dramatized and quickly assumed he was dead. So I told my mom when she arrived home which was a couple hours later. So we got the cage out and we used two sticks to bring his body up and burry him about 2 inches down to the ground. We then did research because I was depressed and hoping he was alive. I then figured out he could've been molting the whole time. It was actually just 15 minutes after we burried him so we dug him back up and put him in a separate cage for a few days just in case he was molting. We put food and water and new shells in there. He then started to smell fishy and looks completely dead but we aren't sure. We wish he wasn't because we're all depressed because of it and we have no idea if he is dead or molting. So do you think he is dead, or is he just molting? What should we do?

  My name is Fabian. So there is this girl i have a big crush on, (not dating) I'm not ready to ask her out yet. But her name is Alyssa . I met her in middle school and me and her still text ALOT, like everyday. We sometimes hang out and chill. me and her care and love eachother alot, she loves me because i always been there for her, and i always made her feel better, she said she wouldn't know what she do without me. She said i am like one of the realest people out there. she said me and her will rock together forever. but these past 7 days i feel like me and her were getting dry, like if our bond wasn't the same , like if something was wrong with her. I miss texting her more, laughing and having funny and enjoyable convos, where we texted more and she replied faster. I noticed she has been sleeping in all day until 5 or 6pm , and she goes to bed earlier then usual, it made no sense to me. She also hasn't been texting anybody that much and she hasn't been on social media that much, i asked her and she "said You're the first person to actually notice. but idk, I've been sleeping a lot and idk why . Then i asked her what is causing all that and she said " I just got out of a really toxic friendship and it's been taking a huge toll on my emotions lately ". Turns out it was her bestfriend (Jony) they were really close. She really cared and trusted him. I asked what happened and she said "A lot of manipulation and mental abuse". What do you think she meant by that and what do you think might of happened? She said "We still talk a lil bit,, I just needed some space" But to be honest i don't know how to really help her, i need to find the right words to have her move on and whatever they have wasn't real anymore. I don't want her to think i am trying to talk her out her feelings, i also don't want to make her sound guilty or anything like that, i don't want to sound like An Asshole either. I am that type of person that is always going to be real with people and she knows that. I want her to be strong. Alot of people hurt
