Hello Everyone,
It is with a very heavy heart that I find myself writing this post.
Due to upcoming moves and an uncertain future, I am not going to be able to provide for my little man, Boris the Tortoise, and give him the quality of life he deserves. Boris is Red-Footed tortoise about 13...
In the summer he lives outside but at night and during the winter fall and spring he's inside under a heat lamp with a red and white bulb. The flaking is hard to see and it took me awhile to notice but its where the side of the shell meets the bottom at the smallest section on the right top edge.
Boris the tortoise is about 5 I've had him for about 2-3 years he has been fine. When I got him his shell was pyramiding but not anymore. This summer I noticed that a part of his shell was flaky, it didn't seem to bother him he is still the very social happy tortoise he has always been so I left...
