Hi
My friend recently gave me a red belly he had found in the wild. It had the usual vegetation growing from its carapace of a wild turtle. After the first time I had seen it(in his hands) it looked fine, however, when it was handed in to me a week later he told me it had shell rot. The weird thing was the shell rot wasn't there when I seen it a week before, plus all the moss from its carapace was gone. I believe that he tried getting the moss off, in doing so off came some scutes. It looks pretty bad, so I was wondering if there was any special treatment for "ripped off" scutes?
Thank you
Mike
