Thank you for all the advice everyone much appreciated 🤞❤️

I will be having a word with the pet shop as they were the ones who adviced regarding UVB bulb heights and temps

Honestly she's never had any issues other than that, always lively and moving about, absolute animal when it comes to dinner 🤣, hopefully the lighting and heat cures it 🤞 ive moved the light up and also the basking lamp, jigged the temp too, she's quite a hardy tortoise tbf

Me too

That was before the Tamodine @ COmtnLady

Adjusted 👍😉

Thanks Tom, I'll try jig the set up about to suit then. Could I ask what your views are regarding the brown patches on the shell are?? Thanks 👍

Substrate is Exo Terra Bark on top of Tortoise Soil, Slate for Basking Area. 5ft x 2ft enclosure (solid oak all around lined out with 6mm glass with sliding glass front) Warm side (Middle)is 26C Basking is 33C Cool area (far end) is 22-23C Night time around 19-20C Lighting is a D3+ Dragon Lamp...

Thank you bro thats reassuring to know, I'll give that a go 👍, glad it could not rot, was a bit worried for her there 😅

Ive placed some iodine on it for now, it seems a little tender for her

Thanks COmtnLady

Hi All, New to the Tortoise Forum. I have a question if ok, could any one please advise if the brown patches in the photos attached are shell rot or scute shedding?? Iam unsure if I need to treat it or not. Our Star is nearly 4 years old so still a baby. Weve never seen this before or never...
