Does anyone have any information on shedding? My little ones are 10 months old from the same hatch and one of them has been shedding on the front legs. He's not in any pain or discomfort. All the shedding info I see is mostly on the head and shells. This first pic is from a few weeks ago but now most of the tips of the legs are white/ regrowing. But my other tortoise isn't doing it at all. They're very healthy. Humidity and heat are good. I'm still concerned.

To me it looks more like wear rather than shed. Are the two kept together? He may be trying to dig to get away from the other tortoise. Continual digging, rubbing, and wearing off the scales.???
