Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2015 1:53 pm White spots on my red ear slider's shell.
I have a red ear slider and the outer edges of her shell are beginning to turn white. Her shell is about 3.5 inches in length but I am not sure of her age. I have a water heater, a huge filter, a basking area and the water temp usually stays around 76-77. I use reptisafe water conditioner and zoo med natural aquatic turtle food (pellet) and sometimes I will give her sun dried red shrimp. I have tried several of the recommended vegetables but I could not get her to eat them. Besides the white spots on her shell i have not seen any other strange activity in her. She loves to play in the water and bask on her rock. What should I do? Any help is appreciated.
