The only thing that I can think of is the water is too cold and he(or she)is so hungry its trying to eat itself. But then that means that for at least 3 months its hasn't eaten much. They have sacs from when they were born, that gets them through hard times.
yolk sac only lasts for about a week. ive never heard of an animal eating itself out of pure hunger. it may be irritated on that arm and is trying to get rid of problem. i agreee that temp mey be the problem. do you have a heat lamp over the basking area? do you have full spectrum lighting over the rest of the tank?
Will they really try to eat themselves???
What is the water temp and are there any tankmates in with
your turtle?
