General Care Discussion :: Question with shedding>?

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Mon Jul 28, 2008 4:54 pm   Question with shedding>?

My turtles are now shedding their skin again. They also did this last summer.
But why have they not shed their shell scutes?
2 of them are showing signs of shedding but i dont think the scutes will come off for a while.
What should i do?
3 turtles,
3 cats,
& fish.

Shedding skin will probably be a persistent thing, though scute shedding is harder to predict. How does the shell look... are the scutes retained, is the growth regular, etc...
