No, it is not, turtles usually shed skin in little pieces which may look like bits of plastic, and some turtles shed their skin in large pieces. Turtles shed their skin while rubbing against stone. It is very natural for a turtle to shed its skin.

∙ 14y agoYes, all turtles shed their skin. Which is actually scales, like a snake.
Now they don't shed it all at once, usually in patches. Around the back legs is the most.
This is normal growth, think of it as turtle dandruff.
I have several water turtles and they are constantly having thin pieces of skin coming off.
You can just rub it and it will roll up and come off.
