 Shell

i have had a pair of rescue maps for about 2 weeks now,Link<-that is the first post, i think that they both have shell problems, both their shells have small dimples, and after they bask for a while small layers of their shell flake off. i can only describe the flakes as very fine and brown but slightly translucent and about the size off your finger nail and hard.
what sould i do
oh and can ppl post pics of their turtles in plastic rubbermaid tubs
and do map turtles need a place to lay eggs

It could just be shedding, are the shells themselves soft?
