Is it just in that spot or does it go the whole way round? Is it something that’s only appeared recently?

Also do you house your two tortoises together?

Don’t suppose you’d mind sharing a photo of your enclosure(s)?

Hello sorry its taken me so long to reply back to you, thankyou for tour msg. The colour goes all the way round, to be honest me and my son who deals with them most never noticed it only my husband. They are eating, moving & drinking etc. Yes they have the run of the house together & they have a hutch with a light for warmth.
