My baby Salcata Tortoise seems to have a swollen anus. I need to know if it is in fact swollen or if its normal. for his anus to look like this and if there is a home remedy of some kind or I need to take him to a Vet ASAP.

I don't see anything at this point to worry about either. If you think it looks bigger then it did before, then keep a close eye on it and be sure to soak your baby every day in warm water for 20-30 minutes and follow the threads Tom post and some of his are also listed at the bottom of my post.

It looks slightly swollen. Could be he needs to be hydrated and is a bit constipated. Wellington's suggestion is a good one.
