    Tortoise shell rot and how to treat it discussion threada

    RE: Shell Peeling Sids substrate is crushed coconut shells, and is moist but not soaking wet. Usually it is dry. Humidity is at about 60 and normally doesnt get any higher or lower, temp is at 80. What is Betadine and where can I buy it? Is it the same as like Tinactin?

    Tortoise shell rot and how to treat it

    Hi Everyone! I was soaking Sid last night and notice that the bottom of his shell was peeling, so I took a soft bristled toothbrush and gently scrubed it off....now its white with some black spots. I'm guessing this isnt normal, maybe some kind of fungus. Tell me what you think.

    Sid "Show & Tell"

    Yes, Sid is just a little guy, about 5" or so. I'm in Green Bay, WI and the temps right now fluctuate alot from the 20's at night to sometimes 40's during the day. I wouldnt have Sid out all day,probably just an hour or so,maybe 2, transport would take about 10-15 minutes.
