My school biology teachers have a lot of turtles who they all take very good care of, so I've learned a bit on how to take care of them myself. There is another classroom in the building, a 'life functions' type class for special education children, with a red-eared slider turtle in it. His name is Squirtle and I've only seen him through the door a few times, but noticed he doesn't have a heating lamp. I went in there to get a closer look and the turtle seems unhealthy in someway, and appears to me to be underweight, but I don't know enough about turtles to determine if anythings actually wrong. The man there said they feed him once a day.

Does anyone know if something is wrong with this turtle? And if so, what? His whole body seemed sunken all over and he just looks generally miserable.
