Hello,

I'm seeking any sound advice. I have two CH White Cheek Mud turtles (Kinosternon luecostomum). Both of which have what appears to be some sort of fungal infection. The areas affected are the hind feet and the soft tissue around the hind feet/legs. On one animal, the toes look as though they are missing. The said areas have a "fuzzy" appearance to them, which leads me to believe its fungal. The animals are all eating normally. It shouldn't be a question of water quality, as I keep my tanks extremely clean. Could it be aggression on the other turtles part? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I wish I could provide pics, but I don't have a digicam.

Thanks in advance,
JW
