Hi everyone, new tortoise mom here, we’ve had Jackie the tortoise for about 2 months now. She has grown significantly since she first arrived. Today was a beautiful day in New York and I’m trying to get her accustomed to being outside for the summer. I am noticing white in between her shell, I’m not sure if this is from growing or dehydration? She looks dry almost, but she has a great dish where she bathes for a good part of the day and I’m not sure. Any more experienced owners care to take a look? Should I be scrubbing her shell gently?
