I acquired a box turtle off of free craigslist today that appears to have had a rough life. It currently has an overgrown beak, a nose that appears to have an infection of some sort and very bizarre growths. The growths look like they could be warts or possibly a whole bunch of missed sheds on each scale. It has had major shell rot in the past but look like nothing currently active.
I can't get one picture to upload (it looks like you can click to see it), but it shows these growths on every scale on the front leg.
Other than the obvious vet visit, does anyone know what, if anything can be done for the poor thing. I am going to trim its beak and nails and get all of the proper heat/lighting, but would like any other advise.
I know the shell looks bad, I want to know what the growths are.
