What you are describing is perfectly normal. It is just normal shedding as you thought. About his diet... turtle pellets are fine but shouldnt be all he gets. Lettuce is good, but try to feed romaine lettuce. Iceberg lettuce has no nutrional value and is practically water. Also try feeding an aquatic plant called Anacharis, mine always liked it. Feeder fish, crickets, mealworms, and earthworms are all fine to feed to. Just make sure if you collect earthworms from your yard they dont have pestacide or fertalizers on them. Rinse them off before feeding them.
Good luck,
Chris
