@@masterofoffending3908 well it deppends in this case here you can see that she celling They get ride of the old skin faster since there is 0 resistense in the pilled skin
Idk if you got a translator but lobg story short they dont need it but it feels good for them as long as its ready to come off and im sure its just satisfying to peel for the person also almost like popping bubble paper you asmr type stuff
Just make sure that the scutes come off by themselves. You shouldn’t have to force any of them to come off. If they are ready to come off, then they will come off easily.
The larger plates in the middle almost never need it, but if they're barely on it doesn't hurt. Some of the plates at the edges of their shells can get stuck though
@@bower31 I can see the plates are almost falling off themselves in this case, but you have to be carefull. Sometimes the plates are still (partial) stuck, if you then pull them off it's like pulling a scab from your skin. If the skin underneath isn't fully healed yet, you will damage it or it will be very vulnerable. If a turtle or other reptile is in good health, it will molt properly.
