Hi guys, do you think this is edema? He had stress from the move to his new enclosure. He started to eat but i did not see a poop for 1,5 week.

Are you talking about the little swelling behind the jaw? I don't think it's edema, but I don't know what causes it. Beautiful tortoise, by the way.

Yes, exact. Later today he made a lot of poop and eat very well. I'll keep an eye on him/her :)

Looks perfectly normal now. I wonder if it had something to do with the big poop he did. Hm-m-m...

These are 3 different tortoises. So it's my mind that fools me?! I hope.

I think he looks fine - but I don't see him every day. You would be able to tell better than us if something changed. I hope he is fine though!
