While I'm finding much info about turtles shedding shells, nothing specific re: my baby spiny soft shell. Not sure how to determine if he's shedding or developing fungus on shell. Have provided dry basking area; he chooses not to use it, submerges body in the sand most of the time, swims occasionally. Eating well commercial pellets. No longer very shy. Just want to keep him healthy. Using water from local underground natural spring (brought up to his tank's temperature, changing about 1/3 of water every 3-4 days) "Power pusher" aerator going constantly, except at feeding time, not filtering due to sand. Just concerned about fungus, if that's what it is, don't want to let it get away from me, but also don't want to put him at risk using "adult" remedies. Any input helpful. Thanks, nan
