My 8 month old RES Hekyll has some white spots on his shell that appear to be the inner shell or something. They don't smell and the shell is still hard, turt acts normal. I have three pics. There are two closeups, on of the general area (3 spots) and one is a closeup of the scute itself. There appears to be a pinhole in it.

I have the proper setup, complete with UV Reptile light and basking area around 95 degrees, H20 temp is currently around 85, have 30 gal of water in 40 gal tank. Have Fluval filter setup. He eats freeze dried crickets, pellets, feeder fish, ghost shrimp once a week.

Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks

That's shell rot, it's pretty easy to take care of if you catch it early.
My turtle had it when I first got him.
Here's a pretty good page on taking care of it:

If that doesn't work you should definetly go see your vet.
