    Hello, the appearance of black spots on the shell of a Brazilian tortoise that resembles mold is usually due to its suffering from nail rot. Nail rot, also known as tortoise rot, is generally caused by the turtle being damaged or having bacteria invade the inside of the carapace, causing the carapace to ulcerate and appear lesions, which initially appear as white spots and gradually turn black until the later stage.

    It may be suffering from nail rot or water mildew.

    If the white spots can be wiped off, it means that it is water mold, which is caused by fungal parasitism on the turtle's back, and as long as the water is changed regularly, it will not be too much of a problem. If it is rotten nail disease, it often smells rancid, and there is blood oozing out of the affected area, so it is necessary to pick up the stool after squeezing the blood and use potassium permanganate.
