Can you show us a photo of his shell when it's dry? Get a view that's close-up but in good focus and well lit. It's really hard to tell what's going on with a shell without seeing it. Let us see both carapace and plastron.

What kind of set-up is he in? What are the water temp and basking area temp? What do his eyes look like (normal or swollen)?
