 Slider shedding??

Hello all.
I am not usually on this part of the fora but I think I might have a problem with my slider.

It’s just a question really but, do terrapins, or turtles in general, shed any of their skin/shell?

I’ve noticed pieces of his underbelly breaking off and am wondering if this is something to be concerned about.

Thanks in advance to any responses.
