hi, i have a rescued tunisian tortoise...the last week or so i noticed her skin (scaly bits) on her leg was like peeling. she has plenty of baths & now eats a lot of weeds (mainly dandilion) i just wondered if this is normal??

i have touched her leg & she didnt flinch.....only way i cud describe is like when u peel on holiday lol

thanks

This is normal, nothing to worry about, it simply sheds when growing.

As long as it is not associated with blood or weeping tissue... it's normal.
