I noticed these white spots on my turtles shell today and I was wondering if they were anything to worry about or is she just shedding her shell?

The spots are too small to know if there is a problem or for me to ID it. She does need a good shed or two. You might just want to do a preventative maintenance on the shell. Maybe try a Sulpha Dip, or a scrub with diluted Betadine or diluted Hibiclens.

Thanks! You were right, she just needed to shed her shell. The spots are all gone now. :)
