  • nice turtles

  • @spontanous91151 ~  Thank You! ;~)

  • I hope so. It is very bad, the discoloration will still be there even if I treat it. But I just want it to be healthy, even if the carapace is a little off in color. About basking and such, he is doing it regularly and is a GREAT turtle.

  • @DewleafWolf -- Just do the right things, and I know you will. Over time he will be just fine and so happy to be in your care. Keep me posted on the progress and send me any questions or comments if you think I can help.

    ;-)

  • (continued) What do you recommend to treat it? VitaShell? He is so beautiful with big blue eyes and a butterfly pattern on his plastron. Thinking of upgrading to a 20 or 30 gallon and giving the 10 gallon tank to my frogs... So yeah, thanks for your help!

  • @DewleafWolf -- VitaShell can be helpful and used once a week, but put on just a slight amount when applying it. You will of course need to make sure he has fresh clean water to live in and a nice place to bask daily. A diet rich in calcium is also very important, and the foods you are using I believe are all correct. If he has any fungus you will need to do a Sulfa Dip process a few times, but you don't mention a fungus which is good. It will take time, but caring for him properly will work.
