I'm used to my turtle shedding. When she sheds she sheds skin and shell and lasts a week or so. This tube she stopped eating. I noticed white spots on her she'll that I belIeve she's had before. They don't appear to be soft. But in terrifIed this could be she'll rot.

She's a rescue I've had for two years. She was in good shapevwhen I adopted her. She's in a forty five gallon tank with a filter for a hundred and seventy five gallon tank. She has a heater and the tank is filled just over halfway

She has a baking area a heat lamp and a uvb light. I changed her diet from gourmet mix which had cranberry mealworms shrimp and drifted pellets. They discontinued the food so I've been feeding her the same brand of pellets until I find something better. She ate one-two days ago when I last fed her, I believe, I didn't stick around to watch.

Other than not eating she seems fine... I've attached a couple pictures of her.

She ate today. Turns out my brother already fed him.

I'm having trouble loading images at the moment, but you might want to consider sorting out food in a pill box to prevent accidental over feeding.

I can see the pics now. Can you post pics when the shell is dry?
