Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Hermes's skin is peeling. Can someone tell me if he's sick or not? He eats lettuce and reptomin pellets and is 1 inch long. I've kept him for about 3 weeks.

Skin shedding is usually normal if it's thin and wispy. If it's excessive, then you might have a water problem.
