As I'm aware of, human fingernails or toenails are keratin just like tortoise shell.
I'm wondering, can we clip/cut their shell and don't feel nothing like when we clip our nails? Doesn't it affect the overall health of the tortoise?
Maybe you are wondering why would somebody clip a tortoise shell...
Well, to answer that. In my other thread, I asked if a sulcata carry a unique feature that will let us, owners, distinguish one from another sulcata, just like human fingerprint. I guess that thread is not resolved yet
So if it's not cruel, if it doesn't hurt, if it won't affect the health of a tortoise, then maybe (I'll still think about it) clipping a shell (with design ) is my answer.
