    White, flaky skin on face, generally quite dry, but concerned it's fungal.

    Hi everyone, Wanted to get some advice on this white flaky patch on his face. We previously thought it was just dried calcium powder that he gets around his face sometimes but after upping his bathing to everyday we've noticed it hasn't gone away. Looked back at some photos from December...

    How long can a red-eared slider comfortably dry its skin and shell at cool room temperatures?

    White spots on my tortoise skin

    Hi, everyone! I've got a baby redfoot and her head and "armpits" are turning white. The skin looks really dry in these areas and I don't know what to do. I bathed her this week and when she's wet those spots disappear, but once she's dried it looks very flaky and white. The bottom part of her...
