Hey Team,
A family member of mine got this tortoise earlier this year. They were unaware of brumation in tortoises, and were just going to store the tortoise in a utility room over the winter. The heavy white outlining in the keratin of the shell also makes me think there is a calcium deficiency present. My questions are as follows.
Do you always brumate your tortoises?
Does this photo show signs of a calcium deficiency?
