To heal an aquatic turtles dry skin...put it in water. If your turtle is currently in water and has dry skin then I would consider consulting the local petstore or Vet. A simple phone call can possibely answer your question.

Shedding is natural and normal for RES. Shedding skin has a thin, wispy and translucent appearance. Most often it is around the neck and the front and rear limbs. It is very easily visible underwater. Excessive shedding is not normal and is usually the result of water temperatures being too high, high protein diets, inadequate basking and fast growth. It could be a symptom of poor water quality or a developing infection. Proper diet and water conditions should be introduced to help avoid this.

Your red eared slider should be able to swim around most of the time. It should be where the lamp isn't to hot for it. I have never worried about humidity. I just keep the humidity as the room's humidity. You could find something to rub on his skin. There may even be a slight chance that you are feeding it something it is allergic to.

1. Check the basic cares and make sure they are on-track. You can check http://www.redearslider.com or http://www.austinsturtlepage.com for help with this.
2. If the basic cares are good, then this may be an infection or similar problem. There is no good reason for dry skin in an aquatic species. For infection care, try the medical or health sections of the above sites.

Another culprit could be the humidity level in the cage. Go to the petstore or the vet and ask them what is the specific humitdity level your type of turtles cage needs to be set at. Take it to a vet if it dosnt get better with that.

Dry skin always so irritating...I hate it so much...I suggest you try using
Zenmed Derma Lotion from Zenmed or Autopalm from Skinstore.com.
Zenmed has no side effects and it's non-irritant to the skin. It's proven to
works fast and it provides Maximum results! It's certainly a good lotion to
prevent further outbreaks.
Another product that I think is effective is Atopalm. This dry skin mlm is
one of the best seller at skinstore.com now. (Skinstore.com holds more than
10,000 skin care products) It's pretty effective, and worth the dollar paid
out.
