SHEDDING?

I HAVE 2 DIAMONDBACK TERRAPIN JUVENILES KEPT IN FRESHWATER ABOUT 80 DEGREES. RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THE SKIN ABOUT THE HEAD AND NECK SHEDDING. IS THIS NORMAL FOR THIS SPECIES? ANY HELP APPRECIATED. NOTE, WATER IS CLEAN AND FILTERED. I ALSO ADD THOSE TURTLE BLOCKS TO THE WATER FOR THE SHELL AND FIGHTING DISEASE. ALSO HAVE UVA/UVB BASKING LAMP/ THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP.

Is it shedding or a fungal infection? My understanding is that fungal infections are common with DBTs, especially if you have a freshwater setup and not a brackish one. I've never had one, but I know others who have owned/bred them and that's why they go to the trouble of maintain a brackish environment. I think Google is going to be your friend on this one...
