    Shell flaking up

    Hi guys! I never received a response regarding this thread and it seems the flaking went away for a bit. That being said, I noticed some new flaking on my tortoise’s shell and an entire scoot peeled off. I’ve attached a picture. Any help would be super helpful.

    Scales falling off foot

    Thank you so much for all of your help! I washed the foot and it is definitely her foot, not anything stuck to it. I attached a better, closer picture of it. She does not have this anywhere else on her body, and it is even starting to climb up her leg a little bit towards her body. I picked...
