This is my first post here so I’ll go ahead & introduce myself! I have a male Sulcata who goes by the name of Tucker! Not exactly sure how old he is on account of him being my boyfriends!
Anyways I’m looking for help! I’ve read on here that tortoise do NOT shed their scutes however I’m seeing some flaking/peeling on the shell of my tucker
I keep him dry most of the time but give him 3 soaks a week to keep his shell hydrated! This hasn’t seemed to help the flaking! Should I be worried? He has a balanced diet and doesn’t use a heat lamp right now because it’s still hot (we live in Phoenix Arizona, it’s been 100 on average for the last month) please answer with anything I’m desperate!!!
