Exposed Heart Turtle Flaps Her Arms Whenever Her Dad Comes Near Her Tank | The Dodo Faith = Restored

This turtle was born with an exposed heart. When her dad rescued her, he was so scared she wouldn't make it. But a year and a half later, she's gotten so big and strong!

Actually turtles with open hearts aren't that rare (it happens once maybe twice but still not very likely) it's just breeders determined that they won't have a safe or comfortable life so they will keep it and see if they can keep it alive or give it a lethal shoot. Also albino turtles aren't that rare there are actually a good number of breeders who breed albino turtles.

@dogcatfamily2476 And blessings to you, too, dear friend! You obviously have a very kind heart and are a special human being. I've rescued animals all my life, too, only the first one had trouble walking. Someone knocked him off a step with a rag! A tiny kitten who couldn't walk! I was livid, ran to my mum and we took the baby to the vet who said he needed calcium ampoules. After taking them daily, he could walk and then, even run! We were so delighted! My brave little tiger kitty, CiCi ("Tschi Tschi). He was my constant companion and I loved him, just I loved all my sweet pets. They're all over the rainbow bridge now, but not a day or night goes by that I don't miss and love them. I so look forward to seeing them again! Best wishes to you, dear fellow animal lover!

@@sharonnahwegahbow276 as she grew the covering or membrane over her heart became thicker so i guess that will get stronger over years..😊😊

[@KoxenBols]

@Valerie Soul It could be possible to glue a steel wire or two over the hole so it kinda works like a roll cage, without trapping dirt in there. But it doesn't seem like it's necessary, since the heart is further inside her shell as she's been growing, and the skin also seems to be significantly thicker so yeah, I think she's fine as she is. Also, the guy looks like he's in his early 30's, which means if she lives a full life, old age might even take them about the same time, which is kind of the best you can hope for with a pet that you love.

[@Dragonass18]

If you look closely it does look like she has a thin, clear skin or membrane covering her exposed heart. If her heart and organs were truly exposed i don't think any amount of cleaning of her water would make a difference or that she would have even survived her egg. The first bathroom she did in her water would doom her and her organs would have likely gotten waterlogged. But its still impressive, she would still likely require daily water changes and a lot of attention. Its no wonder she loves her owner so much and kudos to him for giving her that chance that nature would have never allowed her.
