Hey guys.
I noticed that between my girls scutes it's starting to look like its cracking.. normally she would have nice straight lines.. not sure if she got too dry or too hot under the bulb?. Let me know what you think. She also was born with a little "dimple" on her back scute so that has always looked like that..
Thanks
Luke

Lights are pretty drying. How close to the top of the tortoise is the light?

You can rub in a bit of cold pressed coconut oil, allow it to absorb for about 15 minutes, then polish it all off with a clean, absorbent cloth.

I would say about 9 inches or so above her. Cold pressed coconut oil?.. where do you get that from?

They sell it at most supermarkets now. It's usually near the olive and canola/vegetable oils. Just make sure you get Extra Virgin Cold Pressed. It should be around $8-$10 for a jar.
