After the rotten skin of the small crocodile turtle appears, it shows that it suffers from rotten skin disease. Skin rot is mostly caused by vesicle bacillus infection, and the cause of these bacteria is poor water quality. If small snapping turtles have wounds on their bodies and the water quality is unclean, they will increase their chances of getting sick.

After the snapping turtle suffers from skin rot, the symptoms are also obvious. In the early stage of skin rot, their limbs, neck and tail will appear white and yellow, but this situation is not easy to detect because it looks similar to molting. In the middle stage, the rotten skin will fester, and in the later stage, when it is more serious, it will stink.

After the small crocodile turtle suffers from rotten skin disease, the breeder needs to isolate it in time, so as to better treat it. As mentioned above, the causes of small crocodile turtle skin rot are poor water quality and bacterial infection, so the breeder should change the water first. During the treatment period, the water can be changed once a day, and half of the water can be changed every time. If conditions permit, the container can be disinfected with potassium permanganate solution. Secondly, breeders should use special drugs for treatment, such as erythromycin, chlortetracycline or penicillin. Breeders can apply drugs to the parts where they have rotten skin, and it is best to apply them twice a day. Finally, the breeder can add oxytetracycline to the food of the crocodile turtle, so that it can be taken orally and applied externally, which can cure the skin rot disease faster.
