Hi! New to this forum but looking for some help. I have a female almost 8 yo red eared slider. She is in a 200 gallon tank. It looks like she has shell rot but I wasn’t sure. I thought it was just shed but she hasn’t shed it all yet. It isn’t soft or squishy and it doesn’t smell bad, I have heard she’ll rot will do that. I can also scratch it off with my nail. She is eating like a champ and is really active so I don’t think she is in pain. Can anyone help me?
She has a basking spot where she can easily get out of the water, she has a uvb bulb that is over the water. I did a little bit of research and I am going to get a mercury vapor bulb and put it over there basking spot so it will be easier for her to get the nutrients. Will that help?
