Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2012 8:47 pm   Peeling Shell [split topic]

My turtle Shelby's shell is peeling! I don't know if it is because of the type of light I have or the amount of time I've been exposing Shelby to the light. It hapened twice already. What happens is that the shell starts to look like the indidual scales are peeling. Then eventually they peel off and were the clear dead skin was, look exactly like it did before it starting peeling...Is this normal?

Shedding is normal and healthy. If you can post pics, we can try to offer a more detailed opinion.
