Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have two turtles housed together, a Twistneck, and a DBT.
Both sub adults...around 5inches each.
Before anyone here tells me I can't leave turtles of different species together, let me say I have been doing this for years. Even with hatchlings.
Lately though, I have noticed this cheesy growth on the legs of both turtles. It appears though it's sheeding skin, but I'm thinking it's a fungus. It's very thick and white.
And on both turts. Everything else seems normal with the two turtles. Appetite, basking etc. Although the twistneck is a bit sluggish lately. I attribute that to seasonal occurences.
Anyone have any ideas that might help treat this mess, or at least identify what this is?
Thanks

Rob
