Hi everyone,
Botsworth, my 10 month old Greek tortoise woke up this morning with a small piece of white ish skin peeling off the centre of her face.
I've read that this may just be normal, as tortoises shed their skin in sections... Is this right? Should I be worried?
I have attached pictures of her to make things clearer!
Thank you very much!

They need humidity between 65 and 70% I think yours look too dry. I could be wrong as some shedding is normal. But look at your humidity, you certainly don't want to mess up that nice smooth carapace...

How irritating that must be....lol....like when we get something on our face and can see it but not yet remove it....I would gently push it back down so it is not in the line of sight or she might go cross eyed looking at it....:D:p:) kidding about the cross eyed....
