Hello everyone, I have a young star tortoise that was bought last December and today I noticed something sticking out of its carapace (in between two scutes)..
It looks like a tiny part of its shell came off and I'm pretty sure it wasn't there before..
Not sure if I should be concerned as the thing sticking out is rather small..
Let me know what you guys think.. Thanks..
P.S: I've circled the spot (in yellow) on each picture so you guys know where it is..
