im no expert here about shells, but i dont see any fungi or things like that.
it does look like your turtle is in need to shed. thats why it may seem like his scutes are about to fall off, its because he needs to shed.

What is it that you're concerned about? It looks like he's due for a shed, as Raphulk said, but i don't see any problems.

You'll need to be more specific in terms of what you think is wrong with the shell.

I moved this topic to general care.

the question really is do YOU think there is anything wrong with the shelo.
if you do, then please let us know and we could probably clarify things for you.
