General Care Discussion :: Mark on turtles back?

[joeybsmooth]

Hello , my dock fell on night . I picked it up and did not see anything wrong with the turt. So I just the dock back up and have been own my way. Now a few days later I notice it is a mark on his shell. I am thinking that this is where the dock fell. So if he did get hit by the dock is their anything I be worried about. He is eating ok and everything .

The mark is to small for my 3 mega plex to pic up.

Could you describe it?

[joeybsmooth]

It is like a let dot on his shell that is slightly less brown than his shell.

And you're sure it's not part of his pattern? Is it tan or more white? Can you feel anything when you touch it like a hole or a bump?

[joeybsmooth]

It looks like a mark. So I do not think it is a part of his pattern. but it just feels like his shell.

Is it brown, tan, white, shiny?

[joeybsmooth]

It is tan out of water , and shiny in the water .

That sounds like it might be a trapped air bubble. This happens before sheds.
