Hi!

I have 3 baby turtles. 2 Red Ear Sliders and a Painted Turtle! They are 1 year old. One of the sliders has developed spots on it's shell. They look sort of like little scrapes off of the shell. The shell is hard though. The other two turtles have started to get some spots. The setup they live in was purchased from a turtle store. I have them a ramp to climb on for light and to dry. I feed them pellets daily and either protein and shrimp a few times a week. I believe it to be shell rot but do not know why because everything I have came recommended.

BTW-The turtles are very active and healthy and eat very well. They like to snap my fingers also! Laughing

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks! Confused
