Hi
I realise that humidity plays a major part in smooth shell development over the first few years.
I have to wonder if moisturising the shell would help?
Years ago in the UK people used to oil the shells of pet tortoises as they looked so nice afterwards.
I think more recently that died out as such.
But like our skin-wouldn't something on the shell such as a safe natural oil etc help keep the shell hydrated?
I can't see it really doing any harm
What are your thoughts-anyone tried this?
We are in a dry climate so the humidity issue is always here.
Thanks in advance
Louise
