Please help~ Russian tortoise, red 'Goo" around neck?!?!
Hello everyone! i'm sorry i'm really freaking out here
So i discovered today that my Russian tortoise, of about 4 1/2 years now, has a weird redish brown substance on his neck.
He keeps his neck somewhat in most of the time, but when he elongates it you can see a dark shiny substance. When i went to give him his bath i noticed it and i tried wiping it a bit. It came off onto my swab a brownish color but looks like it could possibly be blood?
Also i noticed that when i swabbed it, his skin was very soft and 'weak' there i suppose. It's late now but i will try to get a picture of it as soon as i can tomorrow.
