just post a picture of it here and we can try to tell u.

anyway, about ur softshell problem, maybe u can try to feed them with pellets. see if that helps.

Those are just hatchlings , hatchlings are supposed to have softer shell !! But do watch out for the " white spots / patch ) on them - will spread !!

Cheers

Dont phew too soon !! Even thou not diet caused on the softness BUT
- lack of calcium will cause it to remain soft even after hatchling stage
- the " white " will also cause the shell not to harden too !! Some sort of " rot " that will spread ( i use aquarium yellow powder or white spot special or just S1 to control and reduce )

Cheers

i just bought a couple of RES last week.
it seems don't like to eat pallets.

anyway to encourage them to eat?
does buying them a big aquarium with basking platform help stimulate their appetite?

and also saw some small white patch on one of the turtle shell.
i tot its dirt but it can't come out even i wash with water!
anyway to remove that??

Ur res white spot don't go away??

that is golden thread turtle

that might be too small for them within half year time..

I would say no , the golden thread turtle might lose its tail !!
Cheers

ya....agree....esp when their tail still soft.
