Hello Alesana, how do you mean the shell looks “dried out” is it just dull in color or is it actually looking dry and crusty?
Hello Alesana, how do you mean the shell looks “dried out” is it just dull in color or is it actually looking dry and crusty? As they get older their shell will start to dull in color, I am not sure about drying out though, because I do not have medical training or any experience when it comes to this topic. If it is dry or crusty and not just dull in color then I suggest finding a vet, but if not then I don’t beleive there is anything to worry about. Here is some information about red ear sliders and shell conditions: http://redearslider.com/shell_conditions.html I didn’t find anything you were describing though, but you can see the turtle and I am not sure what exactly I am looking for, not having seen the shell itself you know.
