Question
My tutle Benji has White/See through stuff falling off of his shell. Some has black dots. Do you have any cluse what it is?

Answer
Thin peelings that look like translucent (spotted is OK), paper-thin fingernail material is generally just shedding.

If it is anything else, it is probably a form of shell rot. Try the Medical Information section at http://www.austinsturtlepage.com for care for that.
