hi! thanks everyone!
and actually.. i do have a question..

ive had my RES for about a year now. he has a 20G long tank , a fully submergable filter, a heater and a basking area where he can completly get out of the water with a UVB basking light his water temp is about 80 degrees and his basking area about 90.... he is shedding, and it looks normal to me but he has been shedding for a couple months now and i didnt think it was normal to go on for so long. does anyone know anything about this? im worried there might be something else wrong because its been going on for so long. i have been using dr turtle sulfa blocks for this whole time now but they dont last very long because he keeps eating them.
he is totally healthy otherwise, very active and a good eater.
please let me know what you think!

i have already gotten the advice to stop using the sulfa blocks and get some cuttlebone instead, which i will probably try, but i was wondering if anyone else had some advice

here is a pic of what his shell looks like when its dry
** and note that i would never keep my turtle on a plastic bag i just put him there for a minute to take the picture!!
please let me know what you think , should i take him to see a vet?
