Tortoise shells need a little TLC 🐢🧼✨ 🐢Tortoises' shells have textured surfaces and indentations between scutes, which can trap debris and, under the right circumstances, lead to shell deterioration. 🪮Brushing the shell with warm water helps remove any accumulated debris to keep it clean. 💆Tortoises have some sensory reception through their shell, so the brushing can feel similar to a soothing scalp massage. | California Science Center
