Dry skin

What does everyone do for dry turtle skin? Thanks!

I don't have a turtle. However, I do have a leopard tortoise. He doesn't really get dry looking skin, as he has a higher humidity enclosure. What kind of turtle are you talking about?

Oop, I didn't pay attention to the section, box turtle. Do you have the right humidity for him?

Yeah, it's always the right temperature and they are very hydrated. It gets really hot in South Florida though sometimes.

I know some people put stuff on the torts/turts shells, but I don't remember ever reading about anything for the skin. In fact it seems, they say not to put on skin. If there isn't anything to put on, maybe spray the enclosure with water once or twice a day. I really don't know what else you could do, except leave it be.
