Hi just want to ask some help on my new IS torts. Got them from a rehome here locally. Just notice their shells seem dry. and some has marks of white go or spots, i tried to scrape it but wont remove, but when i wet it, it goes away, until it becomes dry again. not sure what it is? doesnt look like new growth, prevoius owner said food staina but i tried cleaning w cotton buds and my nail slowly doesnt seem to come off. I noticed the previous owner used a coils UVB in an enclosed habitant so maybe thats the cause? when wet looks okay, only when dry
any tips on how to better restore the shell, both seem very shy, but looks like 1 yo already, rough 3 inches and 3.5 inches, both same clutch, but smaller one got sick and colds as per orig owner shared, but recoverd already. just worried that she still stay smaller? is that normal if came sick less growth?
pls see photos
