hi, I am slightly concerned over my tortoise, it's hard to explain but the area around his mouth in the first picture is bigger on one side than the other (other side 2nd picture) like one side has grown to much can someone tell me what this is as I thought it was shedding at first but now it still hasn't gone and I have bathed him aswell it has stayed the same size since I have noticed.
thank you in advance 20190527_191533.jpeg20190527_191541.jpeg

I think a full face shot would be more likely to tell us what you are seeing, so we can see both sides facing us.

It looks like a bit of beak that has broken but is still attached. Can you wiggle it and see if you can make it let go?
