I have a horsefield tortoise that’s almost 2 years old. I’ve had him for just over 1 year now. I’m a first time tortoise owner but i’ve put lots of research in before purchasing him and during the time that i’ve had him however i’m still learning. I noticed a few days ago that he was starting to get a slight crack on his nose just above his nostrils. I’ve been checking up on it everyday and this morning I noticed that it has almost come off as if a small piece of his nose has shed. (The photo should explain it better)
He’s eating, pooing, urinating and acting like normal and properly so it doesn’t seem to be affecting him a lot however I’m slightly worried that there may be a problem beneath the surface and do not want infections or other problems to occur from it
I’ve tried to do some research on this however i can’t seem to find anything that relates close enough. I was wondering if there’s any advice that you could give me or to help find out the route of the problem. Or whether it is worth getting it looked at by a professional.
also the photo was taken on top of a clean surface as it was hard to get lighting that showed it properly
