Hi all,

My female hermann tortoise has some white circle-like marks on her shell, and also some lines on her plastron. I am worried that it could be shell rot.

I'm really worried :(

A lot of tortoises have those squiggly white lines on their shell, mine included. I've asked about it too, and although it's unclear why they're there, they don't seem to be indicative of any problem.

Thankyou :)
