im not sure if this is a deases or not but my turtles have something slimy on their body but not on the shell. it looks like hes sheding skin
is this normal or is this a deases

[iac637]

turtles can shed their skin

[drkstr7]

oh

[marisa]

Is it whitish and wispy looking? Does it hang off the limbs, tail and neck when they're in the water. Do you not really notice it that much when they're basking/out of the water? If so, it's most likely shedding. (Is the new skin healthy looking?)

[drkstr7]

yes its wispy and it is hanging of the limbs
but is his shell colour soposed to be all dull too?

[Hoooneylynn]

what do you mean dull? Do you have a picture?
