sleeping in her basking area.
I have my turtle 2 months. When I took her, she had white slime between her claws, brown crust and the rest of the leg was black...She has a black mark in her neck too. Her claws fell off 1-2 days after I got her. The white slime was gone in about 1 week later, I was changing the water everyday. The brown crust fell off with some claws...Then I dry dock her for 2 weeks, and wash her gently with some betadine.
I also brushed betadine in her shell... she has a discolored dot on the shell (rot shell? I dont know...). This dot is getting darker when is completly dry, you can see it in the photo.
After dry docking her, one claw grew... but broke after a while... and the black back feet persists!!
She is energetic... with a lot of apetite!!
What I should I do about her black feet?
