I noticed these scales/spurs on the back of her back feet and just wondered if they where normal. There is 2 on one foot and 3 on the other. thanks.

I don't have that kind of tortoise, but it looks ok to me.

~ Sorry, picture was not visible until a response was posted. I have seen other species with odd numbers.

(I was "guessing" this is a star tortoise, and moved the thread to the Star area. If I guessed wrong, please correct me and I'll put the thread where it belongs)

I don't see anything out of the ordinary there.
