Do you soak it? Or have a soak water dish in the habitat? Not super deep as your guy is small. Could just be dry from the heat and dry if it's not damp. I think sulcatas need humidity too when that young, I'm gonna look lol

Hi Tatyana, and welcome to the Forum!

It's normal for baby tortoises' skin to peel, however, it minimizes it if you follow the set-up instructions for baby sulcatas shown in the pinned threads at the top of the Sulcata section. Your tortoise should be set up in a humid environment, which mimics the wet, monsoon conditions they hatch out in in their native environment.
