What @orv said.This may be as simple as a smudge of your tortoise's own urates. Try a cloth and some warm water at first. If this doesn't work, a gentle brushing with an old toothbrush may work. If these don't help, perhaps a close-up picture of the area might be needed.
Hoping that your tortoise is properly hydrated, you should be able to see the results of his urination: a white chalky substance. Let us know what you're seeing.Do RF have urates? I’ve haven’t seen any in a year??

Mine is juvenile RF, I soak him about 3 times a week, and he drinks readily too. Never seen urates either.No urates ever. Soaked daily for 30-45 minutes, humidity always 80-90%, and he drinks readily. I have read redfoots don’t normally so I take it as a good sign.

Gotcha, good to know thanks. I'm still learning.Yeah not all tort species do. I know he pees I’ve been spot changing substrate. Warm, humid, and pee equals ummmn smells. So I’m sure he’s hydrated just not the same as a Russian or Greek.
