Hi everyone,

I'm really worried about my turtle and would appreciate any advice.

I have a 13-year-old male Indian Tent Turtle that has been with us since he was very small. This morning we noticed something dark hanging out from his vent (anus/cloaca). I've attached photos.

Symptoms:

• Male Indian Tent Turtle
• Around 2–3 inches shell length
• We noticed the protrusion this morning
• Not eating much
• Hasn't passed stool
• No injuries that we're aware of
• No egg-laying (male)

The tissue looks dark gray/black rather than pink, which has me really concerned. I'm not sure if it's:

• a cloacal prolapse,
• a penile prolapse,
• constipation/impaction,
• or something else.

I haven't tried pulling or pushing it back in because I'm afraid of making it worse.

Questions:

1. Does this look like a cloacal or penile prolapse?
2. Is this an emergency that requires an exotic vet immediately?
3. Is there anything I can safely do at home while arranging veterinary care?
4. Has anyone experienced something similar with an Indian Tent Turtle?

I'm located in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India, so if anyone knows of a veterinarian experienced with turtles or reptiles nearby, I'd really appreciate the recommendation.

Thank you so much for any help. I'm very worried about him.

Not talking about a regular “book your tickets and hotel” type agency.

I’m talking about building something that sells experiences, memories, stories.

An end-to-end travel experience for people who want to actually feel alive again.

Trips that feel cinematic af.

Late night chai in the mountains.

Random conversations with strangers.

Sunrises after sleepless bus rides.

Roads that make you forget everything for a while.

Something that feels more like “Nadaan Parindey” energy than a corporate travel package 😭

A brand that takes people to heights — literally and mentally.

Need young people who are genuinely ambitious about travel.

Not the “sit in a luxury hotel and sip whiskey near the pool” vacation type 😭

Need raw enthusiasm for travel.

People who get excited about:

* random roads

* night bus rides

* chai at 3am

* mountains

* hostels

* chaos

* stories

* meeting strangers

* discovering places most people skip

People who want memories, not just vacations.

I’ve been solo traveling for years, love operations/planning/logistics and want to build something big around freedom, movement, adventure and community.

If you’re:

* creative

* good at content/marketing

* into travel/community building

* business-minded

* or just a crazy mf with vision

hit me up.
