Hello!
Probably, nothing serious.
1. Apply one-time Betadine or chlorhexidine to damaged area. Rinse with clean water after 3-5 minutes. Then you can use triple-antibiotic ointment (like Neosporin creme) for 5-7 days to prevent infection.
2. Look for the cause of this scab in the enclosure - sharp edges etc. to prevent further injuries.

Welcome to the forum!
Maybe it's because you asked if she was a Desert tortoise, Tammy, and where was she kept. Although these are innocent questions, the keeper may have thought of you as some kind of Tortoise Police!Another dead end, or just a short delay?
I really just wanted to know if I was correct in thinking that her head scales looked like Desert tortoise head scales. Also, although some questions may seem irrelevant or annoying, the questions are an important part of getting the information needed so we can give valuable help! How else are we to give advice?
