Please help!! (Bumps on skin)

[Denise Vargas]

My sulcata tortoise is getting bumps around skin I know it's not normal and should I separate from other tortoise?? Thank you

What other tortoise? Yes, separate and then give us more info. Picture of set up. Substrate using and how many other tortoises do you have in with this one and what kind are they?

Sulcata tortoise I have 2 babies in there the older one is getting the bumps the other one is fine.

I doubt that's contagious. It looks like some sort of parasite or worm larva. I would take that baby to a good tortoise vet.

A very warm welcome to the forum.

Torts do NOT like company. Therefore please separate your torts asap.

Sorry, cannot help you as far as the "bumps" are concerned-am no tort expert. Hopefully some experienced member will be able to give you some advise.

This is were they stay most of the time I also have a huge tortoise box outside for them during day

Or a virus, when did you noticed that?
