We got a turtle in at Petco a while back that has a nasty looking shell. We finally got room on our adoption table to put him out, from being housed with our other turtles.
When I say nasty, I mean there are white spots on it, which obviously looks like shell rot. However, there was also this nasty, hard yellow stuff growing on the ends of his shell. It looked like extra spikes on his shell, and there was also a thin layer of it all over his shell... I don't know if I was helping him or not, but I peeled this stuff off of him. I wasn't going to but I noticed some of it was loose and took it off, then I realized how pretty looking the shell was underneath and just couldn't resist. He definitely still looks pretty beat up, but he's looking much better.
What was that yellow stuff? I don't know aquatic turtles at all.
