Hi all,
I was looking over my 7ish year old Greek tortoise's shell and found some weird white line things. He's asleep right now so I wouldn't really be able to get a decent photo, but does anyone know if worms in the shell are anything to worry about? He lives inside so I don't know if he would have been exposed to any sort of parasites. He used to have one or two transparent ones but now there's quite a few more defined ones. He's black mainly (he's in my pfp ) and the "floaties" are all in the lighter bits which makes me think they're eating away at something
He was being lethargic for about two days (may be thanks to the colder weather), but was walking around happily for most of today.
Please let me know if I'm just being paranoid about shell worms. If I'm not, I'll try to get a proper photo of these as soon as possible.
They kind of look like the attached photo but white instead of transparent
