@ollietheslider: Just a little shell care to keep me glowing✨ Did you know ? It’s completely safe to brush a turtles shell if done correctly and carefully! Why is it good? -Removes algae, mineral buildup, or leftover food bits -Can help with mild shedding of scutes in a natural way -Promotes a healthy, clean shell especially if you’re turtle is not basking as much yet 💫If your turtle enjoys it, that’s a great sign she feels relaxed and trusts you!💫 🪥 How to Do It Safely: - Use a soft-bristled baby toothbrush or reptile brush -¡Only brush in the direction of her scutes (don’t scrub or go against the pattern)! -No soap or chemicals just clean, warm dechlorinated water -Keep it to just a few minutes at a time #redearedslider #PetsOfTikTok #turtletok #fyp #turtles #Love #happy #ollie #photogenic #
