About two weeks ago someone gave me a baby sulcata they couldn’t care for. I got him a nice big tank, coco choir, heaters, uvb lights, maintained good humidity and soak him daily. I noticed he was shedding a little when I got him, looked like a skin tag on his head. It came off and then it looked like his top beak was starting to shed. It’s been a few days and I think it’s a different problem. He is always active after a soak (but spends a lot of time sleeping) and poops usually during the soak, although I haven’t seen him eat. It just looks like a dry nail instead of a healthy tortoise mouth. I tried calling the vet and the specialist isn’t in till nov 10th. I tried researching but haven’t found anything similar. I’m not sure of the age but will attach some pictures. I’m new to the forum and would appreciate any help, I like this little guy.
Thank you,
Steve.
