Ummm, so I've done a whole lot of reading about care of turtles, feeding etc and they keep making comments about "young turtles" How old (or big) is a young turtle???

Hi, I'm new to turtles too and I think I'm having some health issues with them. They have some white patches on thier shells. The patches were on the shells when I was given the turtles and when I asked a local petshop person about them, they thought it was probably just a lack of decent light. They've had a proper UV light for well over a month now & also get a good amount of sunshine in the morning and there has been no difference. If anything, they've gotten worse. So, is this normal or is it a health issue & what should I do about it? Here is a picture of them . . . Thanks! Mat
