Hi there, this is my Murray River turtle, 2 and a half years ago. I just wanted to check their shell was okay? Has some flaking and quite dark. I have a calcium/protein block in there and try taking him/her out 2-3 times a week for half hour.
The shell feels pretty hard I just know calicum deficiency can happen with their breed.
Any advice be great

Thank you.

Looks really good. The flaking you see is the scute shedding. That is also a good sign things are in good shape. Nice growth, original scute area shedding - nothing to worry about.
