:White and dry around the scutes is new growth. My guys enjoy a nice lite scratch on their rear scutes, they do a little shimmy dance.
Very cute.

: : Please do not put anything on the shell.
: : Most products are damaging and do far more harm than good.

: : Make sure that there is plenty of shade always available.
: : If the shell is drying out because of the sun, then there's not enough shade, so provide more shady areas.

: : You can wash the shell with water, but should avoid using any commercial products or oil etc.
: : Terry.

: She has plenty of shade now,but not a lot before we got her.We have only had her for about a month.Maybe it won't dry out any more than it has.She has a little pyramiding and it looks white and dry sometimes between the sections on the shell.Thanks
