There is a large confluence of blood vessels/veins (called an anastomosis) in that general area on each side of the neck where I have seen vets draw blood from tortoises a number of times, but if these are those anastomoses, they are the largest ones I have seen for a tortoise that size. If all else is normal, then you probably need not worry. If they get any larger, then you may wish to take the tortoise to a vet for another opinion.What are these soft puffy things around the base of neck? When she inhales / extends the head, the puffs actually go away.
Are those fatty deposits? Weighs ~260g at 11.1cm SCL, which according to the formula is standard.
