It looks like some type of a wound. Is it possible the tortoise got his head through a fence or some type of screening and cut its neck trying to get its head out again? Do they have a cat? Maybe it's a cat scratch.View attachment 376269
So I left my tortoise with relatives, and when I came back a month later he has this weird red marks and a swollen area on either side of his neck. I was thinking humidity or something but does anyone know what this could be? Should I take him to a vet tmw?
