Hi all, I think and hope my Russian tort is ok but I must be sure. He has been acting kind of strange lately.
For the past few months my tort has lived indoors( outdoor enclosure being built) And he has exhibited normal behavior.
Then one day I noticed he never woke up. I opened his hide and pulled him out. His claw got stuck on the wall. I use scissors to cut him and out and left him alone to relieve stress.
I figured if he acted weird for the next couple of days it would be expected. It's been a week and a half and he has been lazy. Today he didn't even come out from under his ramp. I woke him up and did a health check. His eyes are fine and so are his limbs. I put him next to the food and he ate. I soaked him recently and the humidity is around 60. No watery discharge. I turned him over and noticed some abrasion spots. I highly doubt that it is shell rot (tommorow I'll as pics). Also on the top of the shell there are some abrasion spots that are white. If I put water on the spots the go away for 30 minutes them come back. I even upped the temps. What do I do?
