shell peeling??

[Vanillukit]

I just noticed this on my tortoise today after a soak, is this normal?? the other part of her shell has been like that since we got her.

How long have you had your tortoise? It looks like an old injury that is causing the scutes to fall off due to new growth. I'm not am expert.

Ensure regular warm shallow soaks for 30 mins in a high sided container. Check diet and ensure calcium is provide for good shell, bone, beak and claw growth. I would also give the shell a gentle run over with a soft toothbrush and wipe on some coconut oil on the top to help moisturise new growth and scutes. Enjoy
