My turtles are both 1 1/2 yrs old. We have had them about 6 mo. They have two basking docks, are in a 90 gallon tank w/ UV light. I feed them pellets every other day, some tuna every once in a while and different types of greens.. arugula, romaine etc. They eat fine.. they dont fight. There are two filters and 1 large pleco in the tank and 3 very very tiny pleco.
I started noticing some while flakeyness on the bottom of one turtle "Duncan". It looks as if he had rubbed his under belly on something and scratched it all up! I took him out tonight to chk it out and its all rough and a couple spots look pitted and feel like they give some if you press them. Some areas look like they are flaking.. he has also been shedding the last several days. His top shell (sorry I dont know the official term) looks great has no spots and is not soft. He basks every day and I keep the light on about 14 hours per day. I know there has to be something wrong if his underbelly looks this way.. one spot looks pitted and in another you can push on it and see it go in and out! I noticed tonight the other one has 1 small spot that looks similar. HELP!
