Hey guys!
Today while I was bathing Simba I noticed he had some white stuff on his shell but also underneath that were never there before. What do you think it could be?image.jpg0A9D5AF5-8DC1-4DF2-8D39-E1339574E02D.jpeg

That's just new growth, perfectly normal.

I don’t see any white stuff, just a bad glare. Can you take a better picture without a glare? By cheesehead do you mean cherry head?
Yes sorry cherry not cheese? autocorrect. I tried getting better photos and circled the more prominent areas but there are subtle areas too

? yes! My Simba got super annoyed with me when I was trying to take pics of his shell today! He must of thought, “what the hell is wrong with her today?!”. But I was just trying to make sure everything’s alright ?
