Hey guys!
Sorry to be posting something that has been posted a few times before, but I thought I'd rather be safe than sorry. I've seen similar posts to what I'm saying here but wanted to show pictures of my tortoises and make sure they're okay rather than guessing by what people have replied to other people.
Here are my photos. I apologise for the wet tortoises, they've just had bath time!
^ Jaffie from above
^ Jaffie from below (only for a few seconds to take the picture!)
^ Close up of Jaffie - I'm worried about the bit in the middle.
^ Yeezy from above.
^ Yeezy from below (again, only for a few seconds to get the picture)
^ And a close up of Yeezy's shell - you can see the white really clearly in this photo.
I've looked at a few threads - some say this is normal growth, some say it's the beginning of marbling, and other say it looks like shell rot (although there seemed to be more white spots all over with shell rot).
If it is just growth and completely normal this is fantastic and we can't wait for them to grow more!! Otherwise, thank you for any information you can give me on this. The fact that the two of them both have it tells me it's probably a normal thing, but as I've said, better to be safe than sorry!
Thank you everyone!
