Now before you say fish tanks do use mercury thermometers well this wasn't a fish thermometer it was a really old one used for other things (I don't know what). But anyway I was filling up my turtle tank after a clean and was checking if it was the right temperature by using this thermometer because the one in his tank takes a while to update.

Anyway I dropped it, It smashed and mercury spilled out formed balls and then went between the rocks. I have since picked out what I thought to be all of them but I want to know is the water poisoned? I have yet to put my turtle back in but I am in a hurry because he is starting to get cold.
 
now al you got to do is clean it al lout and try not get any on you sure it wil be kind of if you just dip it out no you have to remove and clean it all not suck remove what you think you see but sure i guess you can drop him in and see if he grows another leg
