General Care Discussion :: Question about Dry Docking

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2008 10:39 pm   Question about Dry Docking

ok so... i would really like to know the proper way to dry dock my turtle so i can cause as little stress to her as possible. she's getting these white spots on her shell that appear to be like air bubbles or something underneath the scutes. :? i'd post pictures but for some reason i can never get a good clear picture of her shell. they aren't soft but they seem to be multiplying or maybe its just me. i'm thinking i might have to dry dock her if i'm right and i would like to know the proper way to do so. I tried looking on the net but i just get stuff about ships. ships = not turtles

If it has a golden appearance, it sounds like normal shedding. Have you seen similar pictures on the forum or elsewhere?
