My Common Snapper

My uncle gave me this little snapper that was terrorizing his goldfish, he never told me how he got it but it had a nasty hole on its back. image 4 is when he gave it to me, image 5 is after an iodine cleaning, from there i just coated it in neosporin (the generic additive free one) that i washed off and changed daily. first picture is how he looks today after 4 months. second and third pictures are just showing his chunkyness. i dont have my drivers license and couldn’t convince anyone to drive me to a rehab center since the nearest one is about an hour away. i think he healed up pretty good so far though. he absolutely destroys crayfish and in a few weeks i should be upgrading him from his 20 gallon to a 150 gallon stock tank. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or questions.

I was given a small snapping turtle it looks like that my uncle found in his fish pond, about 3 inch shell length and i noticed a wound on its back that looks infected and i’ve bee looking at it, it may be shell rot. I have turtles but they’ve never been sick or injured before so I want to know what to do. i heard plain neosporin with no pain relief or whatever is a good start along with betadine. i’m going to CVS to get betadine in about 20 mins so let me know if i should get anything else form there for the turtle and any other tips. He is in his own tank so i can closely watch him and how much he is eating. i’m keeping him in clean water with enough to submerge his head and drink but not enough to cover his back and giving him deeper water for about 2 hours a day to eat and swim, rinsing the neosporin off his back first and reapplying it after he’s dried off. let me know if i’m doing anything wrong and any other tips. he seems very lively and is eating but not a lot but still some.

I got my first 1/5 scale car used because new is expensive. traded a $400 pc for a XRT Ultimate. it’s been great but i’ve noticed it was slightly negative cambered. i figured that was normal on a car like this for cornering but my tires have been getting absolutely decimated and i figured a car like this would use all the tire, not just the edges. if it’s not supposed to be like this how could i fix it?
