I previously made a post regarding a redfoot tortoise I found in my backyard a couple days ago and am now taking care of. I noticed some white areas on his shell when I first saw him and recently tried to scrub it off with a toothbrush which did not help. I also tried white vinegar on the spots which didn't fizz meaning that it is not due to hard water deposits. I'm trying to figure out what treatments to do on him in order to help fix this but I am unsure if it is shell rot or a fungal infection. It very slightly disappears when his shell is wet but comes back when he is dry. I'm not really sure if it has been worsening or spreading, but I think it may have.
If anyone has any idea what this may be, please let me know. I would like to buy the correct things in order to get him better. Thank you!
