I got a female red eared slider about 6 weeks ago. She is around 6 to 8 months old. A couple of weeks ago I noticed her marginal scutes changing colors. I am worried this is a fungal infection and want to know so I can treat her. I have a couple of photos I put on photo bucket the link is http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b58 ... 695830.jpg and http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b58 ... 695830.jpg I am not sure if this is the right way to post a link to pictures. Please let me know if this works or if u see the pictures and know what is wrong.

It's hard to see but it does look like it. I would try to treat it right away before it spreads. Since it's in the early stages, it should react well to treatment.
