While gently scraping some of the white stuff on his shell off, I noticed some sticky, "wax consistency" stuff as well! I will be getting Athletes foot cream today for those areas. Thank you very much!!

I'll be sure to try that thank you so much for the help! Do you possibly know how to differentiate a fungal infection and shell rot? I would like to be prepared in the future if anything occurs with this little guy.

Ah that definitely makes me feel a lot better, thank you very much!!

I previously made a post regarding a redfoot tortoise I found in my backyard a couple days ago and am now taking care of. I noticed some white areas on his shell when I first saw him and recently tried to scrub it off with a toothbrush which did not help. I also tried white vinegar on the spots...

I'll definitely give it a try.. Thank you for the suggestion!!

My family and I have already fallen in love with this sweet little tortoise. We are hoping to find his family, but we have decided that if we aren't able to then we would be more than happy for him to join ours! :)

I've been doing some research on how to feed this little guy and this is very helpful. Thank you so much!

I'll be sure to keep a look out. In the meantime my family will be keeping it in our backyard. Thank you!

Found this red-footed tortoise in my backyard. It's definitely not a native here as I live in Cleveland, Ohio. Not sure what I should do. Would it be safe to let it go considering it's not native?
