White Shell Spots

[Raverbane]

I am a new tortoise owner and am worried about these white spots on Eddy's shell.

Those are nothing to worry about. It is old, exposed dead bone. New keratin is growing under the spots and eventually will force the white spots to pop off.

Hello, Raverbane and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum to you and Eddie.
It's good to worry, we all do, but I think Eddie is fine.

Thanks for the good news! And thanks for the warm welcome. That's a load off my mind.
