Just want to run this by experience owners first. I've noticed his shell is flaky more then usual and does have a extra skoot but one of the skoots look odd. Is roughly 5 years old. 3359.jpeg 3358.jpeg I live in az has a outdoor encloser with tons of shade, misters run 3 hours a day and a house with temp controlled heaters etc. Is fed Timothy and Bermuda hay available all the time and veg every other day and on occasion masuri Timothy based pellets.

maybe soaking would help.I am not as experienced as others on this list but his shell looks dry to me like soaking might help. Just a thought.

More soaks should help with that, and running some humidity in the heated night box will help too. His shell looks very dry.

Thank you for the response starting the soaks the first thing once it warms up a tad tomorrow morning along with a lot more humidity in the night house
