It doesn't look like a recent injury. Did you actually see them come off or did he come to you that way?

The skin may shed when there is a drastic increase or decrease in moisture and humidity. Not sure if this applies to your case or scales. My tort shaded good amount of skin shortly after getting him and introducing humid environment.
