Hello.
Can you give more details. What do you mean he’s picking at his front legs? What is he doing? Is he biting at his front legs?

Yes. Hes picking at the scales on his front legs. (Biting himself) Otherwise, he's strong, energetic, eating well.
Are the scales actually coming off? Please share pictures of the tortoise and enclosure.
Scales look normal to me. Maybe he’s got some leftover mushed mazuri in between his scales and smells it?
Hi there! We would like to try to help in every way we can. Please post more pictures of the tortoise and entire enclosure, and provide details of how he is being kept: diet, lights, temperatures, humidity level, substrate, to give us a better basis for our experts to have ideas and solutions! Thank you.
Perhaps. 😆 ummm like i said earlier.. I'm new to tortoise care. I appreciate your quick response. Thank you very much
How long have you had this tortoise? The overall appearance of him looks like that of a healthy tortoise.
I've had him about 3 months. My mom died and left him to me, and i absolutely love him. He's got so much personality and vigor. I'm not sure how old he is..... do you know how to tell thier age?
No real way to know exact age. Looks like he’s about full grown. My guess would be between 5-10 years old.
This is a good amount of information and covers most if not all you need to keep him nice and healthy. I recommend you read it and if you have any questions afterwards to ask for clarification if needed.
