New Arrival!

[TobeNamed]

Hello! I am new to tortoise care, and have recently adopted a Rescued Ornate Box Tortoise, I would appreciate any advice for care and comfort from you all!! Tbh the little guy has some kind of orange dotting on its upper arm between the neck area. I’ve been reading all day and haven’t found much besides possible bot fly larvae ew lol. I want to help this little dude as much as I can. Currently he is sleeping after a terrifying day of fireworks. Any advice to possible skin rash/ healing would be appreciated thank you!

Hi and welcome to the Forum!

If you start a new thread either in the "Health" section or the "American Box Turtle" section, and post pictures of the spot on his neck, we'll try to give you our best advice.
