I was wondering if one of my red-foot tortoises has shell rot when I got him I don't remember seeing this on his shell but I don't know what it is can anyone help? Is it something I need to worry about?

Also I have another question ummm...., both of m tortoises have like 10 of these white rings on their shells their not huge their actually quite small but I was wondering what it was, the rings are towards the back of the shell an you can't really see them. I have increased the humidity and I spray their shells and their heads all the time and should I not spray as much? Please reply I need all the help I can get!!! 😀🐢🐢🐢

Those weird white swirly circles are just growth in the scutes. Completely natural. I see no shell-rot in your pics either.
There is nothing wrong with them at all. Don't stop spraying, keep doing what your doing.
