Does anyone know how to clean or eliminate hard water stains from a tortoise shell? I have a Sulcata hatchling about 5 months old
I squirt mine off with collected, filtered and stored rainwater. Prevents this. Looks like that might be calcium from the food. You can try a light brushing with a tooth brush during soaks to try to wipe it away, but really it won't hurt anything.
... and Angela, this is a pretty common thing for those of us who are spraying our hatchlings to prevent or reduce pyramiding.
