My tortoise, Bonnie, has a large divot or indentation on her shell in the center towards the back. She was a rescue and had it when she was a 5-pounder. It never changed as she grew and now at 85 lbs., it’s really obvious. Not sure how to post a pic.but have some good ones. Wonder if it’s an injury? Hasn’t seemed to have affected her growth although her scutes are really skewed now. Any theories?

Can I put my sulcata tortoises and 2 hermit crabs together in an enclosure? Would it be safe for all animals?
Hi!
I was wondering what the minimum daily temperature my sulcata tortoises could withstand without getting sick. Now in the summer, the LOWEST temperature during the night can range from 15° (59° Fahrenheit) to 24° (75.2° Fahrenheit), and I let them sleep outside. They have been sleeping outside for 3 weeks now and I do not see any problem with them.
Is it good for them to sleep at these temperatures long term?

Hello, would anyone in this forum know where I could donate a collage painting of a tortoise in the Sonoran Desert?
Thank you for any help you can give me.
I’d like to post the picture here, but can’t figure out how to do it.

they are closed so I haven’t been able to ask many questions yet. I dont know how old he is and i dont know how he was started, dry or wet conditions. I don’t know how they are keeping him now, either. I think I will get to go next week for an adoption appointment and I should be able to see their enclosure… they look like closed chambers from the photos I saw but they weren’t up close
How do I edit my name?… Turk is now Fiona and my ex has custody of her. I am getting the baby in the picture from a reptile rescue hopefully this week. His name is crush but I think im Going to change it to FreddyMac.
