I think you're right. I only got him 2 weeks ago and I don't think they soaked him at the pet store. I've been soaking him every 2 days and I'll start misting the terrarium.
Thanks much,
Maria

: I've seen this condition in a hingeback that was being kept too dry.

: Is there a shallow water bowl in the cage?
: Is there a humidity-retaining substrate like cypress mulch?
: Do you mist this enclosure daily?
: Do you soak the tortoise at least once a week?

: If you are doing at least a couple of these things, then maybe it is a nutrtional disorder.
