General Care Discussion :: Shedding

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2011 11:43 am   Shedding

How long does it take from the time you notice him shedding until he's done? I have one turtle that appears to be shedding for like three two weeks.. and another that just started maybe 4 days ago. they are river cooters and only two inch long.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

It depends on the age/health of the shell. Older, healthy shells shed in a few weeks but others could take months.
