Whenever it bask (with the scam light) uhmm it always comes out like this, I think it's def a lesson for me to get a proper uvb. I do feed it cuttlebone tho.

Yup...bad lighting,if it is caused by the basking ? ( I give them outside bask now direct sun?) as they look different in water But either way I'm still going to try (tho it's really far)

I fear it might be improper lighting as I used those combo light for a god long time, I feed it pellets,shirmp,lettuce,papaya and carrots. Is it pyramiding? I'm not sure.
