Markings on shell?

[katielouise]

My tortoises shell has white marks on it, what will have caused this and is it normal? Will it ever go away?
This is a photo showing the markings-

It looks like shell rot to me. You can search the forum on how to treat it. I like to clean it with Nolvason, let it dry and apply clotrimazole. Did it just start?

Looks like bird poop to me and should respond to water and a sponge.

Failing that, it's paint and just leave it wear off naturally.

This popped up while I was posting. Kimber_lee might be right. can you take a close-up of the white areas?

My greek loves to climb! And that is something to watch out for specially if you have an outdoor enclosure. They are strong climber too! When I want finished with my enclosure, well I'm still not, I placed bricks at the edge so it would block her and wouldn't climb out. Guest what happens?! She pushed it out and bam! Luckily my wife checked on her and freaked out because she want there! You'll be surprise on what they are capable of. That is why I love them so!
