I’m not gonna lie he smells a little off compared to my other turtles I checked his shell and he doesn’t seem to have shell rot besides the funky smell. He’s basking a lot which is great cause I think his previous owners used a heating bulb instead of a uvb. I read I could put iodine on it is this true or will it naturally fade. I have another turtle a western painted and he’s only three and much bigger than this 7 year old painted turtle and never had him look like this. This guy is in a 75g properly heated and a good diet is very maintained that’s why I’m guessing it was a lighting problem but I really don’t know I’m not super experienced
