OK, so Bowser ate the two fuzzies I put in there this morning and I think He ate the crayfish that was in there. Later in the afternoon I gave him another mouse, a little bigger but he's eaten bigger before, and he bit at it for a little while and left it. I'm not to concerned about that, maybe he just was too full to eat it. But a little while ago when I went Outside I shined my spotlight on the stock tank and noticed what looked like a white fuzz on part of his skin, near his neck and arms. It's kinda hard to see because I can see his skin, the algae on his skin, and the fuzz. I guess it could be his skin shedding but I don't think so. I don't know if it's part of the algae. I didn't notice this till just a few minutes ago. Maybe it's just the way his skin shed/algae looks at night from the spot light. I dunno, just another worry....

Looks like fungus to me. I had the same problem when I fed my snapper pinkies from Fluker Farms. I never see it mentioned but I think you have to be careful when feeding mice to aquatic turtles. I stopped feeding mice because I kept seeing fungus after I fed the turtle, even in a separate tank.
