Greek tortoise shell rot

[Noyo]

Ive noticed some white stuff around its shell, and i think its shell rot. Any tips on how to get rid of it? (no reptile vets in country)

Doesn't look like she'll rot, but applying some scarlet oil could help.

All I see is new growth and squiggly lines that are normal with some tortoises.

You tortoise is very pyramided though for its size, which means you are housing him way to dry.
Check.out the care sheet for the Mediterranean species.

Are you using an open table and/or mercury vapor light? It looks a bit dry...

Hello everyone, extremely sorry for the late response, let me put a few things straight. When i bought this tortoise, the seller provided me with rather false information. For a few years he didnt have UV lights (dont worry, the tortoise got plenty of sunlight when i took it out) and i kept the tortoise rather dry. They currently dont have a light but i have one coming in a few weeks online.

It looks like his shell condition is caused by dryness and it is peeling of kinda like dry skin. Do you soak him? What age is he?
