Pointed Snout?

[Koopa]

I own a baby Sulcata tortoise that i purchased from an expo. Everything seems normal. My only concern is the pointed snout it has. Is this normal? I attached a photo of it, so you can take a look at.

If you're talking about the little point under his nose, that's his egg tooth. Baby tortoises have that so they can break out of their egg.

Hi Koopa:

Welcome to the forum!!

Yup, that'll drop off pretty soon...your sulcata must've just been born to still have the egg tooth when you bought it!

Thank you for your fast respond! I'm relieved and now have no more worries for Koopa! Thanks!
