# == # Step 1 Understand that the shell of a tortoise is a living part of the tortoise. It will reflect the health of your pet and should be monitored with care. # Step 2 Realize that it's very safe to wash your tortoise, and many of them enjoy it. # Step 3 Keep these tips in mind for other pets like turtles and terrapins, which also need their shells cleaned occasionally. == # Step 1 Fill a shallow tub with a few inches of tepid water. # Step 2 Allow your tortoise to sit in the water and rehydrate itself. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes. # Step 3 Replace the water in the tub. # Step 4 Use a toothbrush to scrub the tortoise's belly and shell. You can also gently scrub the legs and arms of your tortoise. # Step 5 Rinse your tortoise's body well. == # Step 1 Know that sunlight and proper nutrition should be enough to keep your tortoise healthy. # Step 2 Know that tortoises generally do not need a commercial salve applied to their shell. # Step 3 Consult a veterinarian for help regarding tortoise shell care. This says nothing about soap so i wouldn't! just to be safe
