Hi everyone. I was only able to get this one picture so I hope it works. But one of my tortoises scutes at the edge look like they are flaring outwards and didn't know if that's normal? Or what could it mean? He or she is a Desert Tortoise.
Please and thank you.
I agree with finding a new vet. I spoke to one in Yorba Linda . she was amazing ! The other vet didnt want to do xrays and told me the legs are fine. I was not impressed. Comparing both legs seems okay just seems week I don't know but he has had this for a while but now that it's getting colder...
So my smallest not youngest tortoise has a limp. When we first found out we took him to the vet and then did an exam and he said he is fine and strong. Well it seems like it's getting worse again but I was curious what you guys would call this ? He seems fine and he actually is very happy and...
So my 3 desert tortoises had a weight check today. Last one was in March :)
- March 13th 452g 340g 387g
- October 1st 763g 487g 625g

Yeah I think he was upside and their house mates probably flipped him back over because I found him like normal. I thought he was just sleeping out in the open of his enclosure. And no I didn't see any signs of attack plus I have the entire enclosure covered in green 1/2inch mesh all sides and...
No I havnt seen any ants not a one since I fixed the problem . no bugs besides under the water dish when I lift it there's an occasional puncher bug. Also there's a spider web I see but I destroy it every time but no spider.
Thank you so much. And I appreciate the kind thoughts. I have 3 others which are still young and they are together with this one since they are all young. I plan to create separate homes for each soon. But never seen aggresion yet since they are about 1 to 2 years.
I have pictures of him if you...
