I think my little turtle is shedding at its shell cause some parts of it is white but I cannot tell cause I have never seen a turtle shedding before.
So if it is possible can someone show me what a shedding turtle shell looks like or shedding anywhere?

Better yet, can you post a picture off his/her shell?

ok, I'll see if I can take a picture of its shell, although it might not be clear. I'll take one as soon as it starts to bask.

Taking the picture when the shell is dry would show more. Are the edges of the scutes that are white lifting up at all?

It looks normal to me, but you should check it every day to make sure that it is normal shedding. Cute guy too!

What a sweet little kid! He's so young that his shell still has it's "dimpled" appearance.
Your turtle's shell looks very normal in the picture. As the shell peels, the edges do stick up a little bit (especially when the turtle dries off). Nothing to worry about.
