Hello, I'm new to this forum but not totally new to turtle keeping. I'm wondering if my turt has shell rot. He's a western painted only 3 inches or so. I'll try to get pictures of the shell. There's some grayish spots on shell. I took some pics and every time I try to upload it say can only upload 517kb. And file is too large. Please help. I also have a red eared slider, Mississippi Map, and a diamond back in there with him. The aquarium is a 135 gallon tank with a fluval 4o5 and fluval 406 for filtration. Tank is filled all the way up and there basking area is above the aquarium.

Some of it looks like shedding, some of it looks like fungus. Do you have any pictures of the shell dry? Are the areas soft or smelly? Any other symptoms?

Don't have any pics while dry I will try and get some soon. They both bask quite frequently, they seem to be eating good. I'm more concerned about the little guy(western painted). It's kind of hard to keep a eye all the time on him because I do work full time and have kids.

Do the other turtles show any similar problems?
