Dry skin

[Alpha752]

Henry (Russian) seems to have some dry skin around his neck and shoulders. This just seems to have started within the last week or so. I soak him twice a week for 15-20 minutes.

Is this bad? What else should I be doing?

Hi I'm not sure what that is and hopefully someone more experienced like @Yvonne G will be able to help you.
Have you used the search facility to see if anyone has had similar problems?
May be something like enclosure humidity or type of substrate (see caresheet)

Sorry I can't be more help but hopefully you'll get good advice soon.

It is total normal for a tortoise to "change" the skin sometimes.
If your tortoise is active and good eating I won`t be worried about it.
To soak the tort is a good thing to help him loose the old skin easier.
