Biting
My tortoise keeps trying to bite me. Is this a territorial thing?

- he reacts to the sight of my face and comes to say hello, but when I get close he tries to bit me, and has also tried to but my fingers a couple of times...
Andy Davies said:Be just joined here and I am a new beginner and I think I'm gonna need quite a bit of help. I think I'm turning into a hypochondriac as I've never kept a tortoise before so could do with a few questions answering. They are as follows:
- Sid doesn't eat much and can go for a couple of days without doing so...
- he will lie in his hollowed out log for a couple of days and just sleep...

Andy Davies said:- he has bits of skin shedding around his neck...
