My 3 year old box turtle has a light spot on her head. It’s a light brown stop between the eyes. It looks a little crusty and has been growing very slowly. It’s dry and almost looks a little crusty. Should I be concerned?
This turtle lives indoors under a uvb light. Her diet is mostly turkey, strawberries, lettuce, and pillbugs or whatever she finds outside. I give her some vitamin d on her turkey about once a week but only a little. She’s a very picky eater and doesn’t like the vitamins if I put too much on her food. Overall she’s happy and active. She’s spent about 3 days in her water recently but is back to usual daily baths.
Any idea what is causing this? I would appreciate any help.
