I would really recommend separating those two tortoises and not keeping them together (as Tammy already mentioned). In two of the photos, the smaller one is giving the larger one quite a menacing look to warn it that it is not welcome in the smaller tortoise's territory.I just adopted this new guy/gal today and noticed the white marks on him/her. My first baby has nothing like that as I show in the pics. I searched shell rot but its not patchy at all or flakey and didn't look like any of the pics. All advice needed! Thank you in advance.

They will not be in the same enclosure. Thankfully my husband helped me build raised "garden beds" with 2' tall protective fencing to keep predators away. 😊Some of the people here have vastly more experience than most "exotics" vets when it comes to tortoises. And they will quickly advise you not to keep a pair of tortoises in the same enclosure, if that's what you are going to do, for the best reason of all - each one's health and comfort. Beautiful redfoots!
