Awesome thank you! There’s so many posts on this topic when I did a Google search and when I searched here, and none of them seemed to definitively outline with clear photos exactly WHAT shell rot looks like, so I was concerned some of the pitting/flaking between scutes could be due to bacteria...
We recently acquired a Russian tortoise. From what I’ve read and researched on here, he is wild caught, and at least ten years old. I’m concerned about possible shell rot. Is this shell rot or wear and tear on an older wild tortoise?
