Recently I've been noticing some white spots on my sister's turtle Franklin. I've never had a turtle before but I'm a little worried about this little guy. Can someone take a look at this picture and let me know what those white spots are?? Thank you!!! :mrgreen:

Mostly shell fungus. You'll need to carefully examine the shell for shedding scutes. My turtle had a similar problem and those retained scutes cause a little bit of infection underneath.
