Was it stepped on or any thing dropped on it... Does she stay in a cage or free roam..... Soak her in Luke warm water. If it is shell damage put neosporin on it and wrap it in gauze and get her to the vet

That's just new growth. Sometimes they grow in an asymmetrical pattern.

No Davis she has never been dropped nothing has ever fallen on her and I keep her in a cage. thank you


Thank you Yvonne, it's just new growth? It feels fleshy.

 

[Yvonne G]

It hardens with age. It is very tender at this stage.

 

[tortoise_man2]

Ok Yvonne thank you very much
