Hi, One day after soaking, I noticed some sort of discoloration on the belly of my young hermann's tort. Is this shell rot? I keep him in a closed chamber enclosure with ~80% humidity. For substrate, I use mix of peat moss and orchid bark. In terms of behavior, there is no change. He's eating...

Hello everyone, My tortoise went missing for 3 weeks. Luckily he turned up in my neighbors house last week Thursday. I noticed today as I was bathing him he has a white soft patch on the bottom of his shell. I noticed once I cleaned it that when I touched it, it was a bit soft and he would...

Ive noticed some white stuff around its shell, and i think its shell rot. Any tips on how to get rid of it? (no reptile vets in country)

Hi guys just wonder what I could use to treat possible shell options on my African leopard tortoise, a part of his shell fell off last year and now I've notice more section lifting, his shell is very dry also he is 15 years old

I've been treating my tortoise from a fungus in it's plastron for two weeks now. He has recovered very well, I've been applying betadine, chlorhexedine and clotrimazole (betadine just for the first three days). But it still has a black spot on the center of it's plastron, i'm worried it could be...

I recently took in this Russian tortoise. I noticed this mark on the plastron? Is it an old healing injury, shell rot or something else? The guy who gave it to me only said he’d had the tortoise for awhile, no mention of health issues. I asked the age, history etc but he didn’t answer much...

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 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...

Past few weeks/months I've noticed some white marks/blemishes appear on top of my redfoot's shell. At first I didn't take much notice to it as I thought it was shedding + having a dry shell. I also spray her down + her enclosure and the wet shell can hide the white blemishes. I'm starting to...

I had to emergency rescue this tort from an awful living condition arrangement, but as a new tort owner….yeah. I do not think this hatchling looks healthy. What is wrong with it ? The shell…. It is behaving fairly normally, is very curious, and eats a little (although mostly from my hand)...

I was giving my 3 yr old redfoot a bath and I noticed one of her plastron scutes had fallen off. I was kind of horrified by that but after a lot of research I started immediately treating her with Beta iodine and a topical skin cream. I also used Chlorhexidine diluted to clean the area scrubbing...

I am wondering if my Banjo here is a male or female? Banjo will be 3 years old this summer! Also, what are these spots on the plastron?

Hi there I had my tortoise out earlier and was inspecting her and noticed what looked like signs of shell rot on her plastron? The top of the shell looks okay to me but is the bottom normally supposed to look like that? She hasn’t been eating as much the past few weeks which I chalked up to...

The flaking started off more subtle and a vet told me to use diluted betadine, brushed along scutes once a day for two weeks. It didn't seem to do anything. I tried applying coconut oil to shell every couple weeks which got rid of the ashy color but Tort ended up starting to smell like old...

Hi All, I is the attached picture something for me to worry about?

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...

Hello all! Took my baby out for some sunshine earlier and noticed a little bit of his plastron seems to be raised or lifting. It's the same consistency as the rest of the plastron, no smell, it feels just slightly lifted. Could it be rot? Fungus? Nothing at all? While I have your attention...

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...
