shedding on neck
« on: May 04, 2008, 10:47:35 AM »
Is it normal for a tortoise to be shedding on his neck?  I have not noticed so much in all the years I've had Cantalope Bob.

Oops I need to repost this in te Russian Tortoise section.

My little guy's shedding on his nose.

It's not pretty.

Natasha's neck and shoulders are done, now her face is doing it. It's not pretty, but it does mean they are growing
