Leopards do not get shell rot and running to a vet can do more harm then good as most do not know enough about tortoises.ok first,
how old is your little one approx;
secondly, did he eat fruits red in color or that might've stained his plastron a bit,
if not then this could be an early sign of shell rot go to the vet and see what they say
get back to me on that
not mean to start war but all torts get shell rot mister, maybe the vet would not be a good idea as its still to early to tell but even leopard tortoises get shell rot and a specific breeds does not mean a tortoise is immune to a specific bacteria or illness, but i guess some people have silly opinions so i guess do whatever you fancyLeopards do not get shell rot and running to a vet can do more harm then good as most do not know enough about tortoises.
Not a mister and leopards and sulcatas can be in 100% humidity, a very wet puddled substrate and not get shell rot.not mean to start war but all torts get shell rot mister, maybe the vet would not be a good idea as its still to early to tell but even leopard tortoises get shell rot and a specific breeds does not mean a tortoise is immune to a specific bacteria or illness, but i guess some people have silly opinions so i guess do whatever you fancy
I will correct that's it's not likely a leopard would get rotNot a mister and leopards and sulcatas can be in 100% humidity, a very wet puddled substrate and not get shell rot.
It doesn't even look like the start of rot.
A leopard tort would have to sit in it's own poop and pee for sometime to get rot and you can tell by the torts bottom shell and how clean and unstained it is that it's not sitting in a filthy enclosure.
