Dear All,

My slider has slider has be developed a few gray white patches on his scuetes and body. Is this shell rot or normal growth? See pics below.

The turtle is 2 months old.

Controlled using water heater and thermometer.
It's a 55 gallon tank that is half full of water.
Used water conditioner and filtration
There is a basking platform but no basking light but have a UVB light.
He feeds well on reptomin and recently shrimp too.
Tank is in our living room.

I appreciate all your help.
