I noticed a couple days ago that my 1 1/2 yr old male turtle was missing a nail on the one side and now has a shorter one. Wondering if they shed their nails and if this looks healthy?
Also, I noticed some copper type coloring on his shell when the lights hit it. I've been using a water conditioner to help with algae but I have also been gently scrubbing his shell with a toddler's toothbrush and don't know if I've brightened his shell by doing this. I have pics for both questions but it won't let me attach them (too big).
