i've noticed in the past couple of weeks that the front 3 scutes on my sulcata's shell have some strange lighter looking places on them. you'll notice it more on the scute on the left side of the photo. he actually has this overall in some form, but it's worse on the front three scutes.
i have been soaking him twice a day because he's been ill and those front three scutes are the ones that get less water than anywhere else on them, so are they just drier and that's why the lighter streaks are going on in places?
not sure if this picture shows it well or not. maybe i'm being too picky, but just want to make sure i'm not seeing the start of a fungal going on.
(oh, he's soaking in gatorade and pumpkin so that's why the water is strange colored. we are just doing clear water soaks now, but that was taken a week or so ago.)
