Before my turtle started shedding he had what looked like scratches on his shell so I said O.K they will come off when he sheds but when he shed it instead made white spots that where larger than the scratches. I have read on another forum of another person with a yellow bellied which is what mine is or is mine a red bellied? I don't remember. I'll post a pic and you tell me, but whatever the spots on the others when they took it to a vet where calcium deficency could that be what mine has, and please don't tell me to take it to a vet as I will either take care of it myself in the next week or take in to a vet in the next week depending if I know how to fix it or not. But is this what it is? And even if it is or isn't how do I raise amounts of calcium in the diet? I currently give him dusted crix and fish and pellets that are reptomin and pond formula which is huge bottle from meiejers on clearance, and goldfish flake food. Would feeding more super worms help?
Thanks josh please help hopefully the pic works
