Shell problems are often caused by poor diet, lack of UVB lighting, improper humidity, or inadequate calcium intake. These issues can lead to soft shell, deformities, or abnormal growth patterns. Unsanitary enclosures may also contribute to infections. Maintaining correct environmental conditions and balanced nutrition is essential to prevent shell related health problems and ensure proper shell development.
