Hi everyone this is my tortoise Anastasia. Can anyone tell me what age she is? I’m guessing 6-ish? And is the white marks on her shell shell rot. I got her in may. she’s on a diet of kale and various vegetables if that helps. FCEBA077-048E-4E4B-A257-56E72956F504.jpeg

Looks to be around 11 or 12 years of age. No, the white marks are not concerning. And FYI, shell rot most often occurrs on the bottom shell (plastron) from sitting in dirty wet substrate.
