Hey guys, I was wondering whether anyone could give me some guidance, I've got a 2 year old African spur-thighed tortoise and during his bath this morning I noticed a red/purple area on the bottom of his shell near his tail. It looks a bit like a bruise and wasn't there a couple of days ago.
He lives with another tortoise pretty happily, but could this potentially be from him trying to mount the other one, or could it be something else? I will probably get a vet to look at him but thought I'd see if anyone on here knew what it was.
Any information you could give me would be great!
Thanks![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
