I want to share an update and ask for some guidance regarding the eggs from my tortoise.
Egg 1 (laid 23.3):
Showing signs of chalking, but I also noticed some fungus-like spots on the shell. I’ve cleaned it gently with a clean cloth and removed the visible fungus.
Egg 2 (laid 31.3):
No signs...
I noticed this the other day on my tortoise. I honestly thought he got to rubbing against the house or something. Is this fungus? And if so how do I treat it?
We recently had a fungal issue in both chelonian habitats...
A small fruit body (Pleurotus genus?) appeared on substrate in Olive's enclosure. I believe that it spread from a potted sedge (with drainage hole), but we are not 100% certain.
Another fruit body (nondescript white parasol) appeared...
Hello,
Back again with another gardening question as I continue to repair my lawn for my Sulcata to roam on.
The St Augustine grass has a case of Gray Leaf Spot Fungus so I am trying to figure out a safe way to control the fungus while making sure my Sulcata can safely eat the grass after...
Hey so Milwaukee is doing great. But I recently noticed he likes to burrow into his coconut home and he’s getting through the dry substrate and getting to damp coco coir. I don’t think he likes sleeping on the orchid bark. But I want to know if this is Fungus or shell rot. As well as if it makes...
I have an Eastern Box Turtle who has lost both hind legs to a predator. She's done very well with our care. However, just today we found this white tissue material on her back stump. I can't fully tell if this tissue is skin or an outer growth that has developed on her leg. I'm attaching a photo...
Hi everyone, curious if my 1 year old eastern hermanns is developing some sort of shell rot/ fungus?
I changed out the substrate that was old and damp and got a new UVB for the first time since this date last year.
If so was wondering what would be the best treatment?
He is very active, eats...
My Russian tortoise, Boris, has a mark on his shell that looks like fungus. It has been developing over a couple of weeks; I only started to notice it in the past three days. I posted these photos to Reddit and overwhelming people said it was fungus or mold. I was recommended to treat the spot...
Hi there!
I’m a new red(yellow?) foot owner. I’ve had Tortilla for going on three weeks now. Thursday while soaking I noticed these white spots on their shell. I’m not sure what they are because it’s not chipped. After looking back at pictures Tortilla had them when we first got him as well...
Hello guy, i need some advice about tortoise shell. It appear to have round mark under my leopard's plastron. I don't know if this is shell fungus or not. Is somebody know what are those marks is ???
Hi all,
It's been a tough week since Ube started acting sick. We went to a different vet today to get a better diagnosis, thanks to the reco of a family friend who's owned torts for a long time. Sadly, the vet’s diagnosis is yellow fungus, which could’ve come from many sources. I reckon it was...
Really concerned of what this might be 3 of the new baby tortoise got this problem. I think it is fungus, probably not but the stuff accumulated there is hard and rocky type substance. Is this something that baby salcata tortoises are born with and usually falls within time or is this something...
Hi, this is my first post on this forum and I hope that it would potentially solve my problem or at least decrease my paranoia.
So recently I purchased a baby sulcata from an 'experience' breeder. When I first got it it was a typical baby sulcata, energetic, eats a lot and yeah. After a month it...
It was suggested to me that my tortoise has a fungus on its shell. I have attached a few pictures. I live in Florida where the weather is very hot but she stays under foliage that retains water (bromeliads) and is under the trees so it can tend to be damp if it is raining a lot. She's had the...
Dozer is 3 years old and 10 lbs. Yesterday I notices these faded areas on his shell. I touched it with my nail and it scratched easily. Fungus? If so, which antifungal is advised?

Please have a look at the plastron of Drew and provide suggestions on how to best treat the dry white areas as shown on the photo. From reading and looking at all the other post, I understand that this is a fungus issue, please do correct me if I'm wrong. I have done what was...
