Hi
I have a juvenile Krefft turtle, he was hibernating outside in a pond until about a month ago when I noticed him swimming around. He had cheesy / fungus stuff around his nose which appeared partly blocked and also around his eyes. I brought him inside and alternately drydocked him and let him stay in a warm tank till it all cleared up. Now he's eating well and basking, but it's still a bit cold outside in the ponds so I can't put him back yet. In any case he has now developed white spots on some marginal and vetebral scutes, see pics. So I have put him back in drydock with Betadine on the affected areas. Going to put a UV light over him tomorrow. Am I on the right track here with the treatment?
Thanks
Allan
