I have a 5'' slider whose shel has begun to peel and has stopped eating over the past 4 days...Can someone post a picture of "normal" peeling as opposed to a problem like shell rot so I can determine next steps? Thanks in advance for all your help

Better yet, can you post a pic of your slider's peeling shell (dry)? With normal scute shedding, just let it be. Why do you think your RES may have shell rot?
