Well I noticed yesterday that one of my painteds had brown spots on its stomach and shell. I also noticed that it was very slugish and was not going in the water. So today when I went to check on it, it was dead. I just got her from a pet store and I am wondering what these brown spots could be? I don't want it to be spread to my other 2 that were in the pond with the other turtle. I feel so bad for it and was wondering if it could be stress or something caused by a racoon that was in my pond but did not get any of the turtles. Any ideas?
