We adopted a Russian tortoise last week who has some health problems. One of the most noticeable is her shell. She has not shed her scutes properly. Her previous owner primarily fed her romaine lettuce and apples, provided inadequate lighting, and a small cage. We have addressed these things, but don't know if that will be sufficient to get her shedding, or should we somehow get the top of her shell good and wet?
