That is what we came to think before, but it looks white and worse now. I am just a bet worried. I hope it is not shell rot .

When you search the forum for "white shell", do you find any photos of shells that resemble your turtle's? There are so many conditions that make a shell white it's almost impossible to help without knowing a little more about what it looks like.

Here's a very recent post of a turtle with shell fungus. The photos are blurry - but do they remind you of yours? Search for more photos until you find a good match, then copy the link here so we can all see.
