General Care Discussion

After the pics i removed a piece of the scute and it felt like Athena was relieved so im not sure what it is ill try to get better pictures.

Hey Steve I noticed Athena Has gotten worse, she has more white spots around its shell on its central scutes and on the boney part of her shell.
Let me post pics.

Why are you removing pieces of the scute? If it is a bony layer being exposed, you should really go see a qualified vet - especially since the situation seems to be getting worse.

I removed a little piece of it and it seemed to heal right away. But anyways here is a picture i hope its clear her boney part that looks like knobs has this spots.

It should not have to "heal", if it sheds normally, the scute underneath should be in great condition. I can't tell what those white spots are, it looks like reflections in the picture. If they are permanent spots, it might be a fungus infection.

yeah i thought i was the reflection too, i recently got an ouachita Map turtle and i dont want it to get infected as well so are you sure its fungus?

From those pics, I am NOT certain what it could be.

okay when athena is in the water it looks worse they look like these clear or light greenish patches on her shell when dry it looks like the picture.

Im suprised this hasnt spread to Titan or Ghost, titan just has that little white line and no fungal infection should i just quarantine Athena in a diff tank and separate the others?

I can't confirm that it is fungus, that's why I don't want to jump to any conclusions. When did you get Ghost?

I got him yesterday i dont want him to get infected but w.e guess ill keep them there until i get another separate tank
