Hi

My tortoises have some skin coming off around their neck & legs. The breeder told me it was normal, but she also sold me a pair so I'm just wanting to check if it means anything.
Thanks :)

Reptiles shed their skin, just like humans... Snakes do it tidily all in one go.

Tortoises do it gradually and can look downright tatty... don't pick or pull at it, just let it rub off naturally.
