Just got this little guy 2 days ago, he is about 2 and a half weeks old. Today I noticed he has two spots on his shell that I'm pretty sure weren't there when I got him. Any ideas on what it could be? Thanks guys.

Water and aquasafe frome walmart cured a white fungal infection on my first rescue turtles neck over three years ago. If that doesnt work then definately take him to a vet. Make sure he is legal to own in ur hometown/state
 
Used some fish fungus medicine and gave him some 20min salt baths and it cleared right up!
 
The spots could be a form of shell wrought. Will def know after he sheds his shell.
