Is something wrong with your very young red ear slider if its shell looks like its peeling or flaking and if its skin and shell looks dry?
I have been raising turtles for a long time. Depending on the turtle's health, the turtle will shed it's shell and skin up to 3 or even 4 times a year. When it sheds it's shell and skin it just means that it is growing, and like most reptiles it has to shed. Do not help peel it off as it can rip the skin underneath it, hurting the turtle. The best thing to do to help your turtle is to get a good size rough sand stone rock. Your turtle may use this to rub it's loose skin and shell off with. As the turtle matures it sheds less, maybe only once a year. If your turtle has dry, cracked skin keep it in warm water for a few weeks while feeding it foods that are high on calcium, like bananas.... yes bananas... If your turtle won't eat bananas go out and buy frozen (or fresh) blood worms. put the turtle in a clean large ice cream container with about half an inch of water. Mix a little bit of the blood worms with calcium and/or vitamin D powder, and put it in the container with your turtle. You don't want blood worms in your tank unless you plan on cleaning it right away. Calcium and vitamin D will help heal your turtle's skin and shell. I hope this answers your question, and helps with the health of your turtle's skin and shell.
