Turtles usually have no signs of shelling, because turtles have different growth conditions, and there is no fixed period of shelling. If white scales are found during cleaning, it means that shelling begins. During shelling, we must pay attention to cleaning, keep the environment clean and hygienic, and give it more calcium to avoid diseases such as soft nail disease after shell change. In addition, try not to disturb it to prevent stress reaction and prolong shelling time.

2. What should turtle do during shelling

1. Clean up in time: During shelling, turtle must keep the environment clean and sanitary, so the scales it takes off need to be cleaned up in time, and at the same time, attention should be paid to changing water to ensure its health. If it is not cleaned up in time, it may lead to the breeding of bacteria and make it sick.

2. Supplementing nutrition: If you want the tortoise's shell to develop well, you must pay attention to supplementing nutrition. At this time, you can feed more fish and shrimp to supplement calcium. In addition, we should pay attention to the collocation of feed, so that nutrition can be balanced. If it is not fed properly, its shell development will also be affected.

3. Avoid interference: During the shelling, the turtle must avoid interference, otherwise it may have stress reaction or prolong its shelling time, and don't help people, otherwise it may be hurt.
