Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

It wasn't there yesterday, but is today. Around Aphrodite's neck and on her feet are white flaky/fuzzy patches that can only be seen underwater. Can't get a good picture because when I take her out you can't see it. Water temp is a consistent 75 degrees with a water heater checked with a thermometer. Zeus looks fine.

Nope, checked them again. It's both. Going to have to treat the whole tank. Pretty sure now that it's a fungus. Have to drive an hour and a half to the pet store for meds. Lol

Well, I feel stupid. After driving over to get meds, I find out that they are shedding. :( I feel so dumb!

Ah, no worries :) We all make plenty of mistakes here. It's great that you're very observant.
