It was suggested to me that my tortoise has a fungus on its shell. I have attached a few pictures. I live in Florida where the weather is very hot but she stays under foliage that retains water (bromeliads) and is under the trees so it can tend to be damp if it is raining a lot. She's had the dip in her shell for many years but it was pointed out that there is separation between the plates that may indicate a fungus. I've lost the male from a shell injury that became systemic and I don't want to lose this tortoise that I raised virtually from birth - she's a sweety!
