Im a new owner of a Cherryhead Tortoise I've had the tortoise for three weeks now. The substrate was somewhat moist, definitely not wet... although in his hide he burrowed down to damp, wet substrate.
During his daily soak I noticed that he had a white spot on his plastron. I was able to wipe away the wait to reveal what looked like an abrasion and then applied some anti fungal cream. Does this look like fungus?
His enclosure has some fungus growing on the wooden walls, could this be the cause? I was under the impression that the tortoise aren't bothered by fungus. Thanks!
The white spot is on the upper left of the plastron, near the arm.
