I have a three month old leopard tortoise and I read somewhere that they shed sometimes, so I was wondering what age they start shedding. I’ve also heard of them shedding their scutes and I was also curious how often and when it does happen how to help them. Thanks in advance!

Tortoises can sometimes shed a little bit of their skin.

They shed in pieces while they growwwww. As stated above scutes doesn"t shed like the skin does.
