4-year-old Burmese Star tortoise has been biting his own front legs, not drawing blood, but in a mildly aggressive manner. He's extremely friendly and is not aggressive towards other tortoises in their table.
We took him to our vet. X-rays were negative for arthritis and joint problems that could be causing discomfort. Skin and joints were negative for inflammation or redness. Stool was also negative for abnormalities.
The only thing odd was this weird peeling on his neck. See the enclosed photo. His home is misted twice a day and kept at around 65% humidity. Their room also has a humidifier. He takes a bath every other day.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior or have any other thoughts?
