When I purchased Viva her pervious owner did not take care of her and she had a horrible case of shell rot. It was completely healed but now it seems to be coming back. We just purchased a humidifier which has caused the shell rot to come back. We left the humidifier on night an day for 30 min on 30 off and this caused a thin layer of standing water in her tank. We have now changed things and everything is dry and back to how it should be with the humidifier on only during the day 30 on 30 off for about 12 hours. I scrubbed the shell rot off (not much came off) and I have been putting anti fungal cream on her shell to clear it up. Her shell has a slight smell as well (much worse when she first got it but it has lessened). The problem I have with the cream is as soon as I put it on her and put her back in her tank she walks into her water bowl to soak and all the cream comes off and I have to clean out her water bowl. I am wondering if anyone has found anything else to help clear shell rot or if this is the only way.
Below is a picture of her shell (All scarring is from the previous case of shell rot)
