General Care Discussion :: black spots on turtles skin

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

I've noticed these tiny black spots on my male turtles head and also a color change on the scales on his front legs. He is 11 years old so i thought it's just melanism but still want to make sure if he's okay.

Hi selo, it does look like the start of melanism. He looks good overall, cheers!
