Hey Tom,

It could be dangerous if I told you of a medication to use, since there's no way for me to determine whether it's bacterial or fungal. The very best thing you can do in lieu of Veterinary care is dry docking them. Put them in the water a few times daily to eat and drink. At all other times, keep them dry. I know that this is tough with hatchlings, as they are prone to dessication. You'll have to use your judgement.



I know that you often acidify the water for your Spots. Is the Euro water acidified? If not, try the blackwater extract or your tea trick.



I can tell you one thing...Chlorhexidine solution is commonly sold at larger retail pet shops. It may be under a brand name. It has both antifungal and antibacterial properties. You can easily make it into a weak solution for use as a dip, or more concentrated as a spot treatment. It's very safe, but I'd still be careful about making contact with their eyes, nares, and mouth. Good luck.
