General Care Discussion :: White spots?

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Wed Apr 05, 2006 8:47 pm   White spots?

Hey guys!!

My turtles are both actually doing amazing. They are entergetic and they love to eat and bask and their color has returned to normal. (gorgeous;))
I have a slight concern though. Because both my turtles were treated poorly before they came to me, they are thriving here, and growing really fast!!
Just earlier today I noticed that they both have little white spots on the top of their shells. I am guessing this has to do with them growing but thought I'd ask to be sure.
Their shells aren't soft, and like I said, they are doing amazing in everyother aspect.
Any comments will be appreciated!!

Can you take pictures? Check other posts for the same thing, see if it looks similar to what your turtles have.

No, I don't have anyway to take pictures right now. I'll get some up here as soon as possible though.

Hey, I don't know if this will help any. I took my turtles out of the tank again to look at the spots (they both have them) and they seem to be going away. They'll wipe off if I try, but they're down in the curves.
