    Swollen neck on African spurred tortoise

    Hi there, I know this post was from 4 years ago but my female has the same thing. She is abut 100 lbs and eating well . I was wondering what the outcome was of the vet visit. COVID really hit me financially and don't know if I can get her to the ver. Thank you.

    Sulcata hatchling

    I am so thankful for all the interaction :) Bubbles is doing well. I can see how you would say necrotic by the first set of photos but by the second set it doesnt. It is so hard harder than her shell. I hope she does well. She loves to eat. Haven't seen any poop yet though.
