9 am - mom wakes up, feeds pellets AGAIN
2pm - dad comes home, feeds again
6.30pm - i come home, feed again
9 pm - mom starts throwing fruits into tank

times are approximate, these frequent feedings went on unnoticed for a very long time... as i dun meet my parents in the morning and afternoon... and so... even in the evening, we dun usually talk about the tank... so.... it kinda became the norm now that i realized. no harm mah...feed abit more :P

The skin is flaking?
Btw turtles do peel when they are growing. Is it very bad? Maybe post a pic...

I think as long as it dun develop into more serious condition, such as shell rot, it shd be ok. But alway keep water condition tiptop, cos bad water will cause any little wound to be infected.
