Hey guys, I just received a tiny turtle from a friend as he is unable to keep him... and so I decided to take this little guy in. I figured if I acted immediately I would be able to help this little guy.
His shell has some white stuff on it and it's actually quite bad at the back... I've read somewhere online that to treat this white fungus stuff we can give the turtle a salt water bath? So basically soak the turtle for 30mins in salt water and take him out to dry, and the salt that gets left behind will help kill the fungus growing on the turtle.
Has anyone heard or tried this? Just wanted to check if it's safe for the little guy, because reptile vets are not exactly good here in my country and I'm still looking for a decent reptile vet. Thanks in advance.
