Dry Shell

My baby RES Yoshi is recovering from RI and he seems to be getting much better. Although today when I saw him basking his whole shell looked really dry and rough. I've never seen this before when he basks. Is it normal? I heard it might just be hard water but I'm not sure. Does anyone know what it is?

It looks like he's shedding. They usually don't shed that much when they're young, so I'd keep a careful eye on it.

I took him out for an injection and not even 5 minutes of being under the UVB lamp his shell dried up like in the pictures below. What should I be looking out for?
Please and thanks

Just keep any out for anything unusual. The scutes underneath the ones that have shed should look normal.
