Hi, can anyone identify what these marks are, I took my marginated tortoise (4yrs, make) to the vet for a health check and voiced about these marks , he said the arnt mark isnt damp in anyway and the shell isn’t soft in the area so keep an eye, but I noticed it’s spread more than it was afew weeks ago, my initial thought was check the basking lamp - it was too low and hot so I thought perhaps it could have a burn spot but I’ve raised the lamp so the temp is 30 under the hot spot afew weeks ago and I’ve noticed even doing that that the dark marks appear to have spread alittle further, has anyone else seen this so I can go back to the vet with more knowledge, ps his shell is wet in the pic as he is in his bath , so grateful for any help in advance, kindest regards
