The more I look at it the weirder i felt..was it supposed to be like this? I have basking dock and lamp but heat lamp coming soon use to have a heat lamp..buying a new one soon. They are all eating happily and basking heathily..hmmm

Looks like some fungus is shedding. Do the other turtles have it? Nice pics, btw.

Well, both of them have kinda similiar shell..the other one looks liked this..is it safe or not to have fungus shedding off?

Nice Mississippi Maps.

Thanks! But im suspecting the male map is a Texas map..who can clear this confusion of mine?

From the picture it looks like a Mississippi to me. But if you want to know for sure read "carapace" here...http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Care/c ... as_map.htm

Btw..is it normal for the femlae to grow so slow? I think she's about 2-3 inch by now. I have her since 2010. She's like 4 years old already.

As a general rule males will be smaller than females. Turtles grow at different rates. I wouldn't be worried. Are you sure its a female?

I am quite sure as her nails and tails are short, the confirmed male is small with long nails and huge tails so I guess that's the difference that made me think the other one is a female.

Yep

Fungus is contagious, so it's not surprising both have it. How does the shell look with areas that have shed?

Look kinda okay to me? There's no serious white spots but still not looking prety..can i just let the heat n uv light do rest of the job as theres only small amount of fungus left( or even probably the residue) because I am afraid of stressing them if I use the silvadene cream and dry docking method.

If it doesn't shed off, then it'll continue. Is there any regular shedding going on?

Yeah it does. They shed a lot sometimes even rub their shells on the driftwood. Looks a lot like twerking to me.

Well, thats a good sign. If you do try the cream, it should work quickly or not at all. So I'd imagine it could be less than a week of treatment. And you can do it overnight and leave them in the tank during the day, so theres less stress.
