The part in the middle looks OK, I'd keep an eye on the marginals. What's the basking/UVB setup like?

I haven't have any basking area, i still rely on the sunlight. So the white thingy on the middle part is shedding carapace? :D hmm, what's wrong with the marginal part? Thank you :D

I love Bali. Welcome to the forum!

Can you post a picture of the entire tank setup? Is it in an area where he can bask in sunlight, yet have a place to cool off it he gets too hot?

I haven't have any aquarium yet, I still a senior highschool student :D so I don't have much money for buy aquarium yet, but I'm saving my money for a proper tank and it's accesories :D . But I change the water at least once a day, and bask them with the sunlight, and I also use a 25W indacesent lightbulb within 20 cm from the rock.
