Peeling?

[theelectraco]

We have a Greek at my work, and today while he was soaking we noticed he is peeling on his arms and legs near his shell. He is very active, so I'm not sure if its just from rubbing, but it just started out of nowhere. Any thoughts?

Perfectly normal. All reptiles visibly shed their skin. Snakes do it one go. Torts just look tatty most of the time. Leave it to rub off naturally and don't feel tempted to pick at it.

It does not need moisturising or extra treatment.

At what point does it go back to looking normal? I originally posted this ad 2 weeks ago, and the above pics are from today. Has gotten worse. Just doesn't look right to me....idk

that looks normal to me... like I said, it's a constant affair. Sometimes it's worse than others.

Alright thank you. It just looks strange to me and I wish it would fix itself already lol
