Hello,
We’ve had Stan about 5 years (he’s about 13) and only recently started to properly pay attention to him (he belongs to me brother but I’ve adopted him lol). Anyway, I noticed that there are cracks in between scutes on his shell and I don’t know why...?
we feed him mixed greens incl romaine lettuce (I think), spinach, etc (like mixed greens from Tesco) and a calcium supplement on top. He also gets red pepper, dandelions, carrot peel and apple sometimes. I bath him weekly and we try not to keep him in his tank for too long.
I’ve been trying my best but I’m really worried about the cracks. I’ve attached photos, if theyre of any use. My mum doesn’t want to take him to a vet and I can’t drive so can’t get there. What should I do...?!
