Hi everyone,

I was bathing Yoshi today and I noticed a slight change in his shell, and I just wanted to know what you all thought! Does this look like shell rot to you? And if so, how would you recommend I treat it?

Also, when I got him as a hatchling his scutes were elevated; I’ve been working hard with calcium and wide open spaces to level them off, and I’m just wondering if you have any bonus suggestions?

Other than these little concerns, he seems like a happy and hungry tortoise who loves company (a lot of it!).

Talk soon ☺️

I can’t see anything either, shell rot usually happens on the plastron not the carapace and is pretty rare in Russians, I wouldn’t be worried personally but we’ll see what the more experienced folks think😊
