General Care Discussion :: Burnt out UVB causing turtle's shell problems? (PLS REPLY)

[Zacbuttcrack]

Biggest mistake ever, I just realized a couple of days ago I hadn't changed my 5.0 UVB bulbs in over 11 months! I got a new 6.0 bulb and the turtles are loving it! The problem is the turtle's shells are discoloured and very dull, how do I fix this? I will attach a picture after I'm done with this post. Should I just go about doing my usual thing or should I do something about it? Cheers

Just go about you normal ways. Possiably might be getting ready to shed and low uvb like you had might cause colors to become dull and with the new uvb bulb and a shed the color should brighten back up. Also im not sure on your turtles sizes but as turtles get older their color naturally dull
