Torts shed at all different ages, as I'm aware.

They do actually, but they shed in little species, not like snakes or frogs. Tortoises shed differently then turtles. Tortoises usually only shed their skin skin, not their shell 'skin'. Turtles shed EVERYTHING. The top, dead layer of shell 'skin' peels off, and their skin skin just sheds off.
