I know nothing about what is happening to your Sullivan but have you tried soaking?I would try that and if that doesnt work maybe it is the humidity.like I said i dont know what could be going wrong but it is just a suggestion.

thanks i'll try soaking.

Cool and then when you are done could you post saying if it worked or didnt work.

My baby sulcatas both have dry skin, I'm not totally confident but I think their skin gets dry to keep water in. I read that in Africa their skin gets extremely dry so they do not loose any water during periods of no rain. -Vanessa

Humidity is the key. Soaking doesn't resolve it. I've already tried.

i thought that tortoises were suposed to get very little humidity.
