I have read a lot that the shell of turtle can be show lots of signs overall health and diet. Just looking for advice if something seems wrong.

And its just a shot of one of my bigger turtles.

Looks like growth has been a bit irregular. It should smoothen out a little once she sheds regularly.

Okay thanks steve. Thanks for the advice and know how.

[steve]

You're welcome. Try to give her a good and consistent diet.

[Thinkskater]

From what I read a consistent variety is what she needs. So at the moment she ( and a RES and DBT ) get red leaf lettuce everyday , pellets and dried shrimp ever two days and ever 7-9 days gets blood worms. Sound average to you or would suggest something further more?

[steve]

Shrimp and blood worms can be skipped. Red leaf is good as a staple and occasionally mix it up. Same with the pellets.

From what I can take , variety matters most so that was my attempt at it. I'll try to mix it up with something else better for them.
