Hi everyone my names Caitlin! So I just got my first turtle about 2 weeks ago he’s a hatchling painted turtle. Only a little bigger then a quarter. I’ve started to notice some white stuff coming off from the front of him and just today I started seeing it on the back of him to. It’s coming off from his skin not on his shell at all. I just don’t know if it’s him shedding or if it’s fungus or something else that might be wrong with him? How can I tell? You can only see it when he’s in the water swimming I just assumed if his skin was shedding then his scutes would be as well. I really hope there’s nothing wrong with him!
