I live in Delhi where average temperature nowadays is 27-32C and it is monsoon here . Pls help. Pet's info: Reptile | Turtle | Male

Thanks for reaching out about Bucky and including photos. The white areas are exposed bone and needs to be addressed by a veterinarian. Water must be kept in a pristine condition. A topical antibiotic can be applied in a thin layer but systemic antibiotic are likely needed. Good luck.
