Hi I have a number of tortoises, mostly Hermanns. I came across this forum and I think it's just what i'm looking for!
I live in Devon and the tortoises have full run of the garden and so get lots of sunlight and natural food.
I have a problem with my oldest male. I guess him to be around 70 to 80 years old. He has a patch of what I guess would be called "shell rot". I wonder if I could post a picture and get some advice.
Thanks in advance. Rob.

Hi. Hope you're well. I'm in the UK, Devon. Just into spring here. Tortoises just coming out of hibernation. Some still sound asleep!

Hi Rob

Welcome to the Forum, Rob.

We'll be glad to take a look at your pictures to see if the tortoise has shell rot. I'd put them up in the "health" section.
