Currently my russian tortoise is bonding very well with me. He likes it when I scratch his shell but once I go to his actual skin he gets very scared. I have heard that the Aldabra tortoise and the Galapagos like being scratched/petted on the neck.
Should i try to continue getting my tortoise to trust neck scratching? Is this specie specific? Is just rubbing the shell with a toothbrush fine?
Ps: the shell of my tortoise sometimes chips a little. Is this normal?
