Turtle Wiggle?

Hello,

I enjoy watching my turtles bask while i work on whatever needs to be done around the house.
I've always noticed them swivel their bodies when out of the water sunning.

What does this do exactly? Loosen itchy shedding skin perhaps?
I used to have a RES that would wiggle his rear end so my nails would scratch against his shell.
It was too funny to watch but i cant help but wonder if they are having trouble shedding or not.

Do your turtles do this as well? They tend to itch their heads against the edge of thier shells from time to time as well.

Thank you for any imput!
