Shell problem

[redfoots333]

My red foot tortoise's shell seems very dry. And it almost looks like it's peeling. What's wrong? I keep her in my chameleon room so it's very humid. Right now I have aspen bedding in her enclosure, but I'm changing it to sphagnum peat moss today. She has a water dish to soak in and I feed her tortoise nuggets from tortoise supply with Repashy veggie powder every morning. I'm not sure what's wrong or if there is anything wrong. Help?

She needs a enclosure that has 80/90 % humidity . A good substrate is coco choir . She needs a uvb 12inches above her . The closed chamber is a good way to achieve this . If I remember your first post you let her walk around a room on the floor . She needs a enclosure with a humidifier . So the substrate stays dry but the humidity stays high .
