Helping Turtle shed. Painted Turtle scute retention.

Some aquatic turtles will normally shed their scutes.  In captivity, the process occurs naturally providing they have a proper basking spot at the correct temperatures, proper UVB, proper water conditions and diet. 

Without proper conditions, being met, aquatic turtles can retain their scutes  which can cause future problems with bacteria and algae growth.
