MY turtle has a spot on his shell that looks like a sore. He has been shedding his shell also and it had a gold look to it before it started shedding. Does anyone know what that could be? No water turtle vet here where I live

Sorry to hear about your turtle.
Check out the sites below, they might have some info. Also, you might want to post over at the TurtleTimes forum. You'll probably get more expert advice there.
It might be nothing serious or you might end up having to find a vet to treat him. You could make some phone calls to some nearby vets and see if any of them have any ideas. Just because they don't specifically treat turtles doesn't mean they don't know anything about them or wouldn't know who to direct you to. If it comes down to it I suppose you could try contacting the local Zoo. I don't know how successful you'd be but they might be able to tell you what you can do.

It's just shedding and going through stages and getting bigger.
