Yes they do shed a little at a time as they grow.
Does the white stuff look fuzzy? Is the skin white all over the turtle?

I lost almost 30 turtles last year. res,painter,snappers. They developed a white fungus on the rear leags and tail. The painters got mean and tried to biteme. It was clear that they were in pain. I soaked the rest in sulfa soap and they lived.
