I have had my turtle for about a month now. When I got it, it had just hatched. Lately we have a been feeding him about 6 pellets throughout the course of the day. Every few days I cut up several small pieces of carrots for it to eat. He has adequet basking and well regulated water temperature. It's shell seems to be growing fast and has wide, dark gaps between each scute.
I am not sure if it is being overfed or not. Also, are the gaps a sign that it will start shedding soon?
