If the turtle is indented into the shell, it looks like Very slender, suggesting that this turtle may have been malnourished. And a healthy turtle should look like the shell is filled with water. If it looks hollow, don't buy it, it's not easy to support.

V. Look at the body surface

In addition, you can use your index finger and thumb to support the turtle's forelimbs. If it can be supported and can climb up, it means that it is still healthy.
