White spots on shell

[NotTheOnlyOne]

I’ve looked at other threads and can’t distinguish between these spots and other possible ones. I’m not sure if it’s shedding or Too much calcium or fungus or what. I don’t notice a smell, feed mostly insects a variety including dubia roaches, isopods, and black soldier fly larvae with occasional superworms and I throw in leaf lettuce periodically. There’s a lot of places to hide, 40 watt bulb about a foot off the cage 18” or so from the water and a T5 uvb about 8”about the water line, lots of cork and driftwood in there places to hide and get up out of the water. I do weekly water changes and add the enzymes for fish tanks and salt and dechlorinator. These spots are relatively new and if I scrub with a toothbrush they go away then come back. There’s a bunch of guppies in there breeding themselves too

Thanks

Could they be hard water spots?

Someone else suggested that and I’m thinking that may be the case. My city has notoriously hard water. If so, how do I addresss that?

Either don't worry about it or buy water for the soaks. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it.

I’m building them a platform so they can get out of water to bask better and I’m going to put a warmer bulb on them cuz it’s not getting that warm during winter here but it’s good to know that’s probably all it is
