Hi, everyone! I've got a baby redfoot and her head and "armpits" are turning white. The skin looks really dry in these areas and I don't know what to do. I bathed her this week and when she's wet those spots disappear, but once she's dried it looks very flaky and white. The bottom part of her shell also looks like this.
Her behaviour and appetite are the same. What should I do??

Do you soak this tortoise daily for about 15 or 20 minutes? Does it live in a moist environment?

You should soak this baby every day.

Can we get a picture of the enclosure? How are you heating and lighting the baby's enclosure?
