Is it normal after soak?

[olioilo]

hi i made a new acc
I noticed after a few soaks that the shell of my baby sulcata becomes a bit soft after a soak. He is about 3 months old and his shell is hard but when i soak her/him it becomes a bit softer and becomes harder again after a few hours. Is it normal? Thank you!
Btw, he is active, eats, and have unbelievably large poop.

I can't say. I don't remember that happening to my leopard. But @Tom may have some idea about this

I can't say I've ever seen that happen.

Oh thank you both for your replies.
I guess ill observe him some more.
i have another question tho, when i soak her/him, she/he usually dive her/his whole face in the water to drink, is that normal? Wouldnt the water go into his nose? Thanks

Yes. Normal. They have to submerge their nostrils to drink. This can take several minutes, so don't panic. They won't drown.
