Our 17yr old 70lb female Sulcata is loosing her scutes. There’s hard shell underneath and she is acting/eating normal. Her scutes are lifting and then pop off when she is burrowing. I took her to the vet and they said she is fine and it may be caused due to rapid growth due to her environment. Wanted to see if this explanation seems on point with others who have experience with this. Is there something we should we be doing to prevent this?
We adopted her last yr from a family in IL. She lives outdoors year round in south GA in a one acre fenced in backyard with no dogs. Her diet consists of grass, hibiscus flowers, and the occasional vegetable medley with calcium powder sprinkled in.
