Milly's scales seem to be disappearing around her 'armpits', on her legs, and under her chin. I have some pictures but they're not very clear as she wouldnt keep still tonight. If you need it I can give you a video link which is clearer.
Im just wondering... is it normal for torts to shed their scales? She has a warm bath for 30 mins every day to keep her hydration up. Could this be the cause of her losing her scales?
The picture of her face, its the yellow spot where the scales are missing. And her legs you should be able to see its the lighter skin where they've gone.
cool end 27/28oC
Warm end - not sure
night time - 24oC
substrate: 50/50 mix of play sand and soil.
water bowl in inclosure at all times.
uvb lamp and ceramic heater.
