I’ve got a 5.5” fly river turtle that I bought last November. I keep the tank at 83-84 degrees with a ph of 8.4-8.5 and I do add salt with every water change. I’m doing 80% water changes once a week. I maintain 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and usually max out nitrate at 20-40 ppm. He’s been in a 40 breeder for the time being. It’s been smooth sailing up until two days ago when I noticed his shell was beginning to lighten slightly. He’s still super interested in food and hasn’t had any changes in behavior. Tonight I noticed a flap of skin was loose and when I pulled him out of the water it came off easily when I touched it. Everything online talks about fungus and bacterial infections but this seems different. I found one thread talking about it shell shedding here: http://www.turtleforum.com/forum/up...pic/99022-does-pig-nose-turtle-frt-shed-skin/
