There is white tofu residue on the turtle's head

If your turtle has white tofu-like material on its head, it may be an abnormality in the turtle's skin or scales. Here are some reasons why this might happen:


1. Excess scales: The turtle's skin will constantly renew and shed. If a large number of dead skin cells are not shed properly, a substance similar to white tofu will be formed.


2. White spot disease: White spot disease is a common turtle disease caused by parasites. Small white spots will appear on the surface of the sick turtle, which may be consistent with the white tofu dregs you describe. This condition requires veterinary diagnosis and treatment.


3. Fungal infections: Turtles may develop fungal growth on their skin, especially in moist or unclean environments. Fungal infections can cause the skin to turn white and look like tofu.


No matter what causes the white tofu residue, it is recommended that you take the following measures:


1. Observe whether the turtle's behavior and appetite are normal. If other abnormal symptoms appear, it is best to consult a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment.


2. Maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the turtle tank, ensure good water quality, change the water regularly and clean the scales and dirt in the turtle tank.


3. If you suspect a parasitic or fungal infection, it is best to consult your veterinarian for appropriate medical treatment.
