Hi guys, couple weeks ago i noticed some discolouration on one of my terrapins shell, it has always been the shy one but recently seems very eratic when i walk up to the tank,

Is this shell rot? its slightly translucent as well, :/ how serious is this and what is it?

Thanks in advance guys!

The translucent part means it has not shed yet. Those are usually the toughest parts to shed. Has he shed recently, except those 2 scutes?

[calpolsixplus1]

yes i believe he has shed fairly recently, perhaps it is just a case of waiting for these to fall off - i hope so at least! thanks for your reply steve. will keep a close watch on him
