Hi,
My Turtle is FAMILY: TRIONYCHIDAE (Softshell Turtles) Indian Flapshell Turtle (Lissemys punctata andersoni).
My Turtle's age is 4-5 years old & its Single Female.
I was busy with my college & i almost reached home late 8pm & always gone to sleep as soon as i reached home & early morning got back to work, since last month this is my routine...
my mother has been taking care of the turtle...
i brought 10kg of river sand for my turtle's eggs & kept it moist...
500g sand was for eggs...
rest i put it in a fish tank then i saw that my turtle digs inside it. make a hole for its head for breathing & sleeps... when ever it wants to sleep it digs under the sand & sleeps, it looks like snake under sand for attacking stance
now the problem is since last 2 weeks my turtle has stopped eating anything at all...last time it had fungus(or something like it) on its shell. i did pealed it off from bottom & top shell as in this my earlier post:

but those white spot have still not gone away, and also its shell & skin has started pealing off, & its bottom shell is breaking also...i'm really worried now...because only last week i checked my turtle & above things were happening to it.
