please look at the hind legs
are those signs of fungus?
how to cure them ?
is there any specific treatment like "dry home" or something?

if I should treat them in a "dry home" how to keep them moist? and how to feed them? up until now my turtles are only willing to eat fish pellets that are floating on the water surface
thanks ^^

Answer
Few experts recommend 'dry docking' any more- it is just too stressful and unnatural.

I cannot tell if this is a fungus or an abraded area, but the basic treatment is about the same.

1. Isolate (if needed) in a clean tank, and offer about 5 degree warmer water.

2. Dab the affected area with providone iodine (Betadine Solution), and let dry for an hour or so, then return to tank.

3. Use either Turtle Sulfa Dip or the fish medicine Stress Coat (ideally with Aloe) per directions.

4. Using good care sheets or expert advice (http://www.austinsturtlepage.com or http://www.turtleforum.com for exaqmple) see if there is an aspect of your cares, housing, or diet that needs correction to prevent recurrence.

Good luck! It is a good looking turtle!
