Hello everyone! I just adopted a tortoise from a friend who could no longer care for it. I've never had a tortoise before so I'm in the process of learning how to properly take care of it. She has been eating well and has been very active. However, her top shell is peeling and it has me very worried. There are several spots where her shell has peeled that are slightly discolored. Her shell doesn't feel soft anywhere, and there isn't any fluid or discharge coming from the peeling areas. I attached some images showing the condition of her shell. Is this shell rot? If it is, what would be the best way to treat it? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!
