Turtles shed natuarally as they grow. watch for excessive shedding. If your turtle starts to shed large amounts frequently, lower your water temperature a bit and make sure to provide a basking area. If you're turtle is young (a hatchling) he will have a soft shell for a while. Good luck with your new turtle!
