I would say it is mild shell rot, not just the normal shedding of the scutes. There is discoloration after the scute is shed which looks like the fungus has attached to the newly exposed scute also. When it does clear up she will continue to shed a few more scutes and then her shell looks pretty much normal again. It’s not really hard to get ride of it but I wonder why it keeps coming back. Is it that she might have deep shell rot and we are only treating it from the outside? Thanks Dave
