Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Hi:

One of my turtles is shedding his skin for the first time. I read on the site that it is a normal thing. Also, I know I should NOT pick it off for him. However, it there anything I can put in the tank to help him sluff off the skin? Anything he can eat or brush up against? Thanks.

Nope, it'll just come off on its own in a couple days.
