so, the turtle that i had with a white shell i had a close look at tonight (turtles are not kept at my house), and the shell looks great. the white color that was covering the whole shell is completely gone and the shell feels firm, but still a little "bendy" near the tail. but i was also noticing tonight that the shells on both turtles look peaked, not rounded. i can`t remember if i read that this is normal for hatchling turtles or not. does anyone know?

The peaked shell could be the start of pyramiding, which is a sign of over feeding, and too much protein.
