He occasionally goes into his shell and snorts but he seems to be breathing ok and doesnt have a runny nose it sounds strange but i cant seem to see his nostrils and he is six years whereas my one year old spur thighs i can clearly see theirs. He was never bathed and not heated properly. i got him a week ago and have been giving him daily bathes to re-hydrate him since doing so he has begun to shed on his neck really really thick skin im wondering whether it could be a build up of dead skin covering his nostrils any ideas please? should i take him to a vet?

I make sure there is a constant supply of fresh weeds available all day to help tempt him. He was only ever fed on pellet food for tortoises but i have stopped him, since doing so he has hardly eat in a week and a half could he not be eating much because hes not used to eating weeds because he would eat pellets no problem.
