    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 a water turtle that is about 3in and noticed a few days ago it has a dark very soft spot on the bottom of his shell that looks like its rotting like fruit its a light black color and very, very soft. I took him out of cage and put him in a tub with paper towels and been feeding him worms with calcium d3 powder on them. What could it be from? They have uva/uvb light its the tube style light and a nice basking area that stays around 86-88 and waters at 70-72. And is it ok to keep him in tub with damp paper towel on one side and dry on the other? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks:shrug01:
 
I tried loading pic but looks like its not working I'll try again to load them. And the spot is a bit smaller them a dime. It feels like it will rip threw it I put a small bit of pressure on it.
