My nearly 2 year old hermanns tortoise

My Sheldon =] Hermann's Tortoise

I get very paranoid about not looking after y Sheldon properly and am always looking for things i can add to my care of him. Are there any ointments or anything i can buy to apply to his shell to make sure it grows properly and has enough moisture?

Healthy Shell
by: Shelly

Sheldon's shell is like your bones. The shell will be strong when the animal is well-fed.

Sheldon needs calcium and enough sunshine to metabolize it. If Sheldon does not get natural sunlight, he needs a proper UVB light.

Good diet and habitat will take care of the shell.

Keep it slow and steady.
