: Can you explain in greater detail, did the skin separate leaving an open wound that kept increasing in size?
: Terry

then skin seemed to pull downward away from where it attached to the carapace. you could see a thin membrane under it still attached. the vet thought this was his body wall/body cavity. sorry, its hard to describe. It wasn't really a "wound", but yes, it was continously slowly pulling away.
