Hi.
My name is Grace & I have had a turtle or tortoise since I was 11 yrs. old...over 46 yrs. experience. I currently have a pair of Sulcatas, raising them from hatchlings, for 9 & 10 yrs., & they are mating, and have laid 3 clutches of eggs. This is a new experience for me. The 1st clutch...
I have a pair of Sulcatas, they both have wonderful personalities. Rocky (10yrs) just started laying eggs. If they hatch, it will be very difficult for us to give them up.
I'd put betadine on a swab & apply it to the shell wound if it is seeping. It will scab after that and keep it from infecting. They put it on horses for injuries from fences.
As an x ray tech & tortoise owner, I would not want to x ray anything pregnant unless it was a life threatening situation. It can cause mutations & birth defects in the fetus (eggs). Why would you want that? Let them do it without torturing your tortoise and young!
