No, I never have. The only thing like that that I have done is file down a sharp edge on the carapace.

I'd be nervous, but I think as soon as I saw that it really didn't hurt him, I'd be OK to continue.

@NorCal tortoise guy , in the first image, post #1, it looks like you might be using a deep heat projector in the wire covered lamp reflector. Yes?, if so how do you like it?

I too picked up three Burmese Stars from Mark back in June 2020. I am curious what your growth rates are compared to my torts.

I did trim Chitty's beak, I bought a special pair of clippers that are really sharp and heavy duty, like toenail clippers. They worked fine and it looks so much better!!!
