Thanks for reaching out about Leonardo and including photos. By the pictures there is no noticable nasal discharge, eyes are clean and appears alert. No lesions are noted on the shell. Check water parameters for quality (pH, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates) and temperature. If your turtle is cold, in and out of the water, he will be less active. Diet should consist of pellets, fresh vegetables and some insects. Insects need to be gut loaded. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVB) is a must. Good luck.
