Hi! I have the exactly the same problem with my 2 reeves turtles. They are 4 years old & it started when they were young & has got worse over time. Now they look like your pictures. Although they are very healthy & happy.
I think like people have replied, that they aren't shedding even though I have a large basking area, uv strip, & heat lamp. I personally blame myself for poor nutrition and lack of veg, but maybe there is something about the water quality that people could help us with?
(I fill a clean water butt with half hot & half cold water to reach 26 degrees before adding it to tank).is the hot water bad? Also have tried adding occassional wheatgerm to their diet which I read was supposed to assit shedding but no luck.
I am going to treat ine for shell rot incase it is some type of bacterial infection?
