My tort's nose looks a little odd and I was wondering what you guys thought about it. Maybe I'm just used to owning a hermann. When I first got her I thought it was a little weird and it seems like it's getting worse. The first pic s from the first day i got her and the rest are from today. Today's photos were taken after I soaked her in a bath with calcium powder, the first time I've ever done that. I tried looking at other leopards noses on google, but I just wanna make sure her's is alright.

Yep. I am not sure, the nares are more pronounced than any of mine. I kind of think it is just the coloring. I don't see anything that looks bad to me. How big is your tortoise?

She's about 3 1/2 inches long. Along with the nares I'm also a little worried about that rough patch of discolored skin that is a little elevated between her eyes but above her nares. Do any of your torts have that.

Maybe her head is peeling a bit?

Nothing to worry about here. Mine did that when I had her for a couple months and she's still normal and doing what she does best eat,poop, and eat again! :D

Yes. Leopards have those scales above their noses.
