I have a 3 month old Russian tortoise (Shelly). I'm wondering if what I'm seeing on his shell (both carapace and plastron, near each other) is normal peeling. I'm not really sure what that looks like yet, since we just got him in August. He's a healthy little dude who eats a lot, gets a varied diet, and defecates a lot during bath time (30 min. a day, with normal looking stools and urates). He was checked out by the local herp vet when I got him, who gave him a clear bill of health at the time.
Can someone look at the attached pictures and let me know? Sorry they're not the clearest. He is an active little guy, and likes to move a bunch. Three pics show the areas in question, one just plain, one with them circled in yellow, and then in case it's clearer with flash, another one with them circled in red.
Thank you!
Monica
