shell rot?

I just got this redfoot Sunday. It was in a tiny 10-20 gallon glass tank at a “puppy mill” type of pet store. I have a sulcata, and have always wanted a redfoot, and I couldn’t let this guy live in that tiny tank, so I bought it and have it a temporary Rubbermaid tote setup. I noticed this crack...

Hey guys, after soaking my sulcata this morning I saw a bunch of reddish-pink on the underside of his shell. I am so worried its shell rot or an infection if anybody could give me some info?? I also attached a photo where you can see the top of his shell.

Hello all! So, yesterday I had my tort outside and took a peak under him and saw these strange little spots on the bottom of his shell. They’re the little spots that are white and just odd looking. So I began to do some research and was beginning to lean towards possibly shell rot? Obviously the...

Hey guys! First-time poster. This is my tortoise, Edward. I've owned him for 13 years, with him being 14 years old. He's a Russian stepping tortoise, and has been free-roaming in my house for his whole life. He naturally got his own habitat in the corner of our house, but he can walk freely in...

I received this three yr old sulcata about 3months ago, he had really bad pyrmading. He was starting to look better, but yesterday I notices these white spots on his shell and what looks like a scrape. Is this shell root or something else?

Does my Russian tortoise have shell rot? I just noticed this today on his shell I haven’t touched it yet. What can I do to help him? Please help me.

Hi everyone, Recently bathing my 50lb sulcata tortoise, I flipped him over and noticed this along his anal scutes. Is this shell rot? I have never seen this before on any part of his shell until now..

hi, i’m a new tortoise owner and i saw these little white spots on the middle of my redfoot’s plastron. is this some sort of fungus or shell rot?

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...

He's my first tortoise and is a few months over 1 year old. I went a bit too long letting him live in his hatchling terrarium that was too small (I've recently rehoused him into an awesome gigantic diy enclosure I'm really happy with) and since it's got colder and I couldn't take him out to...

Hi, I have a Hermann's tortoise who's only a few months old. I've noticed a few scrapes on the bottom of his shell that I'm pretty worried about. Could someone with more experience please let me know if this looks unusual? He also has a really noticeable belly button, which I've read goes away...

Ive never seen this before. It is not wet. It is not underneath. Is this shell rot? Ive given him a bath and put betadine. Has anyone seen this before? Any advice? He has also not had interest in food for 3 days but I have also made him an enclosure in my garage so that he is not out in the...

Okay I’m a constant worrier so bear with me, my little one avoids his uvb light (tube light, 24in long) so if we’re being honest he probably doesn’t get as much as he should. I noticed something the day before on his plastron (parallel to my thumb in picture) so I’ve been monitoring things. He’s...

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...

My 4 year old Greek is correctly shedding. (I hope but I’m worried about a couple shots on her shell. Anyone think this is shell rot? One is a chip on the front of her shell near her head. The next two are the same spots one while wet and then dry. Then the last is her head that is correctly...

Hi there! I’m a new red foot owner. I’ve started to notice what I believe are growth lines on tortilla, I’ve had him for two weeks now. Yesterday while soaking I noticed these white spots on his shell. I’m not sure what they are because it’s not chipped and when it’s wet and after scrubbing...

I got my russian tortoise, Emmet, a couple weeks back. She is in a 50in long, 16in wide, and around 12 inches high wood enclosure built by my dad. I am new to owning a tortoise though i tried doing as much research as possible, she is near a window, has a heat lamp, is on an assorted veggie...

Hi all. My turtle is about 7 months old and 4 inches big. She's growing pretty quickly, but I noticed this on her stomach. I'm not sure if it's shell rot or her growing. Can someone give me advice? I think I'm going to take her to the vet if it doesn't go away in a week, but I wanted to get...

Clearly his shell isn't doing too well. I've had him for a very long time, but have never seen anything like this happen. I Could really use some advice on what I should do to help him.
