Something coming out

[manonT&T]

There something coming out of the tortoises nose. What should I do?

First have you tried just wiping it away to be sure it's not just on his nose?
Second,I almost think if it were actually coming out, the tortoise would be rubbing its face/nose to try and remove it.
If it doesn't wipe off, slowly and gently see if you can pull it out.

When zooming in, it’s looks like it’s on their beak, not nose, try gently wiping to see if it comes away

Just wipe it off.

Thank you. Have pulled it away. It was stuck but there wasn't a wound behind it. Not sure what it was!

Your tortoise is beautiful. He seems to have quite a bit of pyramiding though. Maybe you can tell us how he is kept? Temperatures and humidity? Soaking?

Probably a piece of food😂

Whilst you’re here, I don’t suppose we could get some information on how you keep them? It’s good to know when new members join🥰

What are your temps like? Ie basking area?(directly under the bulb? Overall day temps? Night temps?

What kind of lighting do you have?

Any indoor uv? If so what kind? Packaging photos are handy

How’s your humidity?

What size set up do you have?

How’s their diet been?

Any answers to those questions would be great, Along with any photos you can get of your enclosure😊

It was a strange thing that was stuck! I've had them 3 years and haven't hibernated them yet. They seemed to be ready to do so last winter but I wasn't confident enough.
Basking area is around 30degrees. Can't remember the brand of the bulb but it was what was advised from the tortoise den. They go outside if over 15 and come in at night. They have a 7 foot enclosure with grass and pebbles with plenty of places to hide and a little shed for them to burrow, but will have an extension this summer will be around 12 foot.
They eat mainly lettuce and flowers such as clovers, pansies, dandelions, I have grown tortoise friendly flowers that I bought from the tortoise den. They are bathed every other day.
