I got skunked while fishing, but I picked up three musk turtles in the shallow water near the shore. I’ve been keeping this species since middle school, but this was my first time seeing them in the wild.

よく「脱皮不全＝湿度不足」と言われますが、
実はそれだけでは説明できません。
爬虫類の脱皮は、
①古い皮膚と新しい皮膚の結合を酵素が弱め
②その間にリンパ様の体液が入り込み
③物理的に“分離”させる
という生理現象です。
つまり大切なのは、
湿度そのものではなく、体内で正常にリンパ様体液が形成され、酵素が正しく働くこと。
脱水、栄養不良、低体温、慢性的ストレスがあると、
いくら湿度を上げても分離がうまくいきません。
特に指先や尾端が残りやすいのは、
末端は循環が弱く、体液が十分に集まりにくいからです。
脱皮は「外から湿らせる問題」ではなく、
内側から正しく準備される生理システムです。
湿度は補助。
本質は循環と代謝。
