# Hello is it normal for string of turtles to lose these little…

Hello is it normal for string of turtles to lose these little “antennas” I’ve had it since May and it’s never dropped of them so I just want to make sure I’m not the one causing it. Everything has stayed the same I got it watering, location and temp of the room it’s in it gets the same amount of light since it hasn’t been moved.

### Raquel commented on 2025-08-28

Uh oh mine is defective 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

But the brown "antennas" look dead. I don't think anything can grow on them. I would cut them off.

### Raquel commented on 2025-08-28

Ok so I googled it and this is what google said 🤷🏽‍♀️
