Sulcata (6months) tried to bite his own shell

[berrybon]

Hi everyone, not sure whether this is an issue or not. These couple of days I found my sulcata tried to bite the edge of his shell. There’s no change in his enclosure temperature/humidity. He lives alone. I also didn’t found any visible wound. Has anyone ever encountered this before? Is it normal?

Here’s the video

They are like puppies. They try to both everything to "test" it out.

Ah thanks! I didn’t expect tortoises to be playful, I thought they are calm and only judge you from a far 🤣

Everything is new to them, and worth a taste. Like human babies discovering their own fingers 😅

Aw welcome to the forum!! Adorable baby!🥰

I don’t suppose whilst you’re here you’d mind including a bit of information on how they’re kept? It’s so handy with new members! Any photos of your full set up would be great! Don’t worry if you can’t answer everything🙂

What are your temperatures like? Ie basking area?(directly under the bulb) overall day temps? Night temps?

What kind of heating&lighting are you using? Packaging pics are handy!

What kind of indoor uv?

What are you using for substrate and how are your humidity levels?

Any additional photos/info would be nice to see😊
