The basics: Teagan and Addison (the larger one). Both male and about 15 months old, I've had them for 12. They are large, at about 3.5 inches, but not overweight. A whole other concern is them both being males, I'm starting to get worried about aggression.

I noticed this about a month ago, when I started giving them an iodine scrub about every other day. Before that I bathed them and used a toothbrush to get nasties off regularly. What I'm concerned about is the dark spots under the surface and the flakey spots. I'd really like any help anyone can offer.

Sorry, I haven't decorated the home for Christmas yet, but don't worry, they aren't being deprived.

Another note, I was about to hibernate them and got scared. So I think they'll be staying awake this winter.

I can't see what you're seeing. Could it just be new shell coloring coming in?
