shell rot

Hello All! Meet Rio, our 2yr old Redfoot. He's super adventurous and always climbing on/over anything he can. He'll eat like crazy if we let him. I've included pictures of when we first got him and currently. In the recent pics (from this morning) I have a few questions/concerns I'd like some...

I am a new tortoise owner. I have a Redfoot Tortoise hatchling and I’ve noticed some unusual spots in between his scutes. I was unable to scrape or clean them off. Is this marbling or rot? I cannot tell.

Hello all! I'm writing to ask for your advice. I notice a few white spots in my red foot tortoise a couple of days ago and I don't know if it's shell rot or not. There hasn't been any changes on her behavior, except for "yawning" every now and then that I read is related to something bothering...

Hello! I'm hoping someone can help identify if this is shell rot or not on my little guy. I'm thinking the white spots are shell rot, is that correct? Is the grey part of his plastron normal, or is that an issue also? From what I've read so far, it seems like the best treatment is to make sure...
