The symmetrical spots on the bottom of the shell are normal. As soon as you get the camera fixed, some pictures of the shell dry would really help.

ok. so i got my camera fixed and got a few pix. there blurry but they get the idea. the first one shows the spots which are little circles. The second one is hard to tell but there is a faint sign of a bright patch. Im thinking that it is shedding but i just cant tell. thanks for all the help!

I really can't tell. Are the spots getting larger or spreading? How long has this been happening?

Is it possible they are growing or they are getting ready to shed?

My turtles seem to have sprouted greatly within the few months ive had them. I really just notices the spots. the one on ricochet is soft to the touch but the other ones on speedy have no indentations
