Hi everyone,

As i was playing with Rex today i noticed he had some flaky skin/scabs on his legs and shoulders. I instantly got worried and thought it might be a tick but it was just skin. i removed it with tweezers gently and he didn't fuss at all. Should I up his soaks? Hes actually be soaking himself the last two days, but haven't seen any new signs of urates, just poop in the bowl. other then that rex seems fine, just not eating as much as id like to see him. oh also hes been on a climbing kick lately. i found him on top of his house 3 times this week. Is this something i should be concerned with also? Thanks.

P.S. what do you all think of his appearance? i think he looks healthy.

Tortoises shed their skin in pieces unlike snakes who shed their whole skin at once, But I would not remove any more just let it fall off naturally.
