Shell Rot: what to do and how to do it

[snakeguy101]

I have noticed a lot of questions about shell rot come up lately, so i decided to go ahead and share this fantastic video with you guys. It was posted by the guy that had all of his turtles confiscated then returned in poor condition in GA; this guy knows what he is doing though and I suggest you follow HIS directions for taking care of shell rot

I will say from experience that Betadine doesn't do near what needs to be done when it comes to Shell Rot. Terramycin is the best thing on the market right now, and I use it for all new acquisitions. There were a few other liquid/powdered Anti-Biotics that were better than Terramycin, but they've since been taken off the Market.
