Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Hi All,

My RES Washburne's shell is not looking so hot lately. He's currently shedding, but the recently shedded scutes have a grayish pattern on them. Possibly mineral deposits? Maybe bacteria or a fungus? Anyone have any ideas on what this could be and how to go about treating it?

Could be melanism. I'm not sure I see anything grayish in the photos.
