So I noticed a white thing on my turtle's mouth two days ago, and assumed it was a scrape he got on a rock or something trying to eat a piece of food. It got rubbed off, and he seems fine.

Today I came home to find another on the other side of his face, and also a bit coming from his neck where it would scrape up against his shell. Is this just scraped skin and I shouldn't worry? Or could it be something more sinister like a fungus or something else horrible? I have very little turtle experience.

Hoping it's just a scrape. He's super active and always climbing around on/under rocks and shifting things around.

This is a reimanni snake neck, btw.

Could very well be that! I assumed it was a scrape cause it looks like a bit of his skin. But if I saw this on a fish I'd assume it was fungus or something.

Thanks so much! I'll keep an eye on it and update if necessary.
