Skin peeling

[boris'mommy]

Just wanted to run this by all of my favorite people on the forum. My 9-10 month old sully is peeling on his neck area. His humidity and temps are perfect, and he is being soaked every other day. Which I'm trying to get up to everyday. Any advice?

Peeling skin on baby tortoises is quite normal. Don't pick at it. Just let it come off naturally.

I read that it was on google but I wanted to hear it from someone I trust and not an anon. Thank you!

Yes I concur with Yvonne it sounds like your humidity, temps, and soaks are good, but sometimes (just FYI not for your case though) tortoises can peel do to being so dry, lack of soaks, and not optimal environment...and again sometimes it's normal.

I'm going to bump up his soaks to once a day, even twice if I can find the time that day. He was just switch into a much better environment as well. I has his poor 4" self in a 30 gallon aquarium until about 3-4 days ago. I'm going to watch to see if it gets better because of this. Since the tub I have now holds humidity amazingly.
