I’ll have to check back to the old photos but the tail is more obvious.

Hi everyone, haven’t been on here for a bit, but I sated to notice that my tortoise is loosing his scales on his tip of the tails. So the skin color is not normal anymore. It’s gotten worse and more scales have come off. would really appreciate if some could help ! ?

I’ll get to it ! Thank you

I’ll do that then thank you ?

Oh no.. I do. But are they still as bad as people say even if it’s not in the normal table lamp ?

That’s the heat lamp, but I haven’t seen any that are white ? I’ll look into that thank you ?
