Hello,
I have had my RES for 14 years, and something new is happening with her. She has been shedding skin for a while now - took her to the vet who recommended that I put her in a betadine bath. I was scared to do that to her so I didn't. Now, the shedding is out of control. It fills her tank and creates a slime coating. I am attaching a close up of her face and a picture of her filter that I just cleaned. Her tank was completely clean a week ago.
Her tank is 75 gallons, about 76-78 degrees with one large rock for her to stand on and a basking spot. She eats pellets every night, lettuce in the mornings.
It can't be the water because I have a YES in the tank next to her with clear water after cleaning it last week. She isn't shedding though.
Thanks for any advice you can give - I can take her back to the vet or if someone has done betadine baths and knows it is safe, I will try that!
Sarah
