My sliders arms, legs, and head (neck) is shedding are they suppose to do that?

Yes turtles shed skin and scutes (pieces of shell) as they grow. If it's excessive, check your water temps, they may be too warm., Temps should be mid to high 70s.

im pretty sure turtles shed.


you could try calling a pet store, or going to a book store and reading up about it a little.


Im sure they will be fine though.
Reply:Yep, all reptiles shed so it's just shedding it's skin as all reptiles do!
Reply:yes they're supposed to do that:)


but also, they shed because they are growing.


soon and before you know it, the turtle is going to expand!!!!!:):):)


and also, dont help it shed like peel the skin off, because that's going to cause some bleeding and the turtle will get hurt:]





good luck!
