My new 3yr old Russian has a very dry back, flaking in spots and almost jagged in other spots. Is there anything I can do to moisten and smooth this?

Some of our members lubricate the shells with cold pressed coconut oil. You paint it on, rub it in, allow it to sit for about 15 minutes, then polish it off with a clean, absorbent cloth.
