long one (which one might be a 29 gallon tank): no a 29 is also called a "thirty tall" a twenty long actually holds as much as a twenty tall...but this is irrlevant the turtle will need a MUCH bigger tank in less thna ayear.
neosporin can help, the shell is living tissue, but the gel/creamy nature doesn't allow air to be exposed to the shell so in general ointments like this actually SLOW healing of shell problems and they are rarely recommended anymore.
If you are at any college, there should be access to a scanner for student use somewhere...library or computer resource center (where do they students print their papers?....that place usually has a scanner if you ask)
i wouldn't be overly concerned about the spots on the shell if they are not soft, or flaky but still a pic would be good.
i'would be more concerend about his diet.
I'd try to get some more variety (its good he eats carrots and apples) but try more things and avoid the shrimp treat stuff as much as possible.
