Here's Josh. Recently saved.

You can see the tiny holes in his gray shell. Obviously looks like fungi infection. With the new basking area im sure he'll recover. I do have a question, though. Will he gain any color back?

There is also this video. He's pretty crazy but thats when i first put him in there

Looks like he has found a pretty good home now! Has he seen a vet about the fungus, or are you treating it on your own?

Im going to treat him on my own. Im sure some salt water baths and good basking will do him well. But still.. Does anyone think that his color will come back?

Oh Josh. How I love you.

I'm so glad he's basking. If he does some cute stuff with his feet you have to take pictures. Like. Really.

A guy on here told me it helps clean the shell and clear some bacteria from it.

Steve I told him to take the gravel out weeks ago and he was like "It's fine, he hasn't eaten it." and I was all "JUST BECAUSE YOU DO NOT SEE HIM DO IT DOES NOT MEAN HE HASN'T OR WON'T!".

I'll keep working on him.
