Torty dry in tub. I was wondering if she has shell problems because when she is dry there are white outline along her schutes although they are not very obvious

The turtle looks healthy. The shell looks good too. Probably the shell just needs
a good shed or the white you see is only water stain.

That's a nice, healthy shell. Nothing wrong with her.

She needs to shed.
