I previously posted a picture of my russian Tequila Sunrise. I thank everyone for letting me know she previously had shell rot. When I was soaking her tonight, I noticed she had two small red spots on her plastron. Her shell is hard there, though. I tried to take the best picture I could, as I...
Thanks for letting me know! I have never seen shell rot on a tortoise, so I guess that is why I did not know what is was. Is there anything I need to do for her now? I want to make sure she is ok. Will the dead bone eventully go away when she grows?[hr]
