There's no vets in my area, and my turtle eats a lot of protein. Can't get her to eat any vegetables yet but I noticed her shell keeps chipping and leaving these white patches, what do you think?

You need to take her to a herpatologist, not a vet.
>>2197069
A cooler is not big enough for the turtle anon
>>2197085
hey now, she's in a 72L tank
>>2197091
20 gallon tank?
I keep my small nepenthes in a larger tank than that
>>2197097
72 gallon** god dammit
>>2197091
>tank barely wide enough for it to turn around
>colorful kiddie gravel
>tiny land part it can barely sit on
>super shallow water
yep, you're a fucking retard
>>2197091
Trade that narrow tank on CL for a wider one of the same size, that would be great. And with how shallow that is, you are only using a fraction of that 72 gallons. You can give him more water
my tank is fine, it's just a bad picture. So does anybody know about shell rot or what? Why won't my turtle eat greens?
>>2197210
your tank is complete garbage and you probably feed it shitty pellets as well
>>2197210
Tank itself is fine, but your turtle would be much happier with the water much deeper and it really needs a basking dock or etc. Also does it not have UVB? The shell issue doesn't look like shell rot, it looks like a result of lighting issues.

thank you. i put more water in today, its double her height and will add more next time i clean it. i use a exo terra sun glo 120 v lightbulb, it came with her when i bought her
>>2197098
72 gallons? Are you fucking retarded?
That tank is tiny, filthy and thoroughly inappropriate
>>2197210
The tank is fine, but the water in it is not enough. Put more water. Also, what filter do you use? If the filtering power is not enough for the dirt that the turtle produces, your turtle's shell might be infected or have skin fungus. Remember, filter capacity must be at least twice the size of the gallons of water in the tank.
Also, I am not a vet but judging from the pic OP posted I seem to recognize a retention of the plaques of the shell, this is caused by bad diet (calcium deficiency) and insufficient exposition to light. A vet should remove the old plaques (if you do it yourself you will probably wound the turtle's shell and expose it to even more infections).
