Hello Everyone

I have a couple of little Australian Pignose Turtles which I have kept for roughly a year and a half. Recently the skin covering the shell on one of the turtles has started to peel. Nothing has changed in the tank. I am feeding the same diet that was recommended by the breeder ( a mixture of meat and vegetable matter). Water quality parameters are all within normal range (no ammo or nitrite, minimal nitrate, high 7's ph, 20-25 deg gH, 30 deg Celcius). He is still acting normally and eating. I have done some research but cannot find any reliable information on this. Can anyone help?
