Dirt and some dead shed? Just guessing.. following.
I can assure you that this is not dirt. I bathe him everyday and use soft brush to eliminate all dirts. I tried to picked it up thinking it was dead skin but no, it was literally his skin.

Ahh could be deposits from hard water?

I remember reading a thread a while back about calcification buildup from water.
I believe you can use distilled water. Others mentions a %of a type of vindication to the water.
I use filtered water for baths and tap water on occasion.

I’d stop scrubbing him. Torts don’t need to be clean. Dirt leave a nice protective layer; when torts are in the wild, dirt provides layers of minerals and moisture. No one scrubs the dirt off them.....just rain and the occasional soaks they discover.
His skin scales look just fine.
