If that doesn't help, go to the "photos and vidos" section from the home page and pinned near the top are two different threads explaining how to post pictures.
Yes, the beak is overgrown, but there's nothing wrong with the color of the shell. That vet must have been comparing color between deserts or greeks. All russians are the color of you rs.
Thank you so much. Praise God ! She talked about possible liver problems and wanted me to take him to OK State University Vet Clinic for a blood test. That sounds like stress to me. Do you see any deformity in the beak? I am afraid to trim the beak. Need to wait another week or two to find vet at our new address. (We move next week) Thank you - Thank you - Thank you Stupid vet! I remember that she had to ask me what type of tortoise he is and was serving as a vet specializing in amphibians at Pet Co
The beak isn't deformed, just too long. You just need to nip off bits around the edge. Don't try to take a big bite with the toe nail clippers, just little nips starting at one corner and nipping around the front to the other corner.
Even vets are trying to make money you know... Good thing you got a second opinion from people who actually knows tortoises. Sometimes vets knows more about cats and dogs than torts ; )
P.S. will it be easier to do after he has had a soak?
Reptilony: She was on staff as a vet specializing in exotics. Didn't even know what type tortoise he was; had to ask me. Liver damage, dehydration, over grown beak; needing blood test. I was terrified. Common sense told me he was alert, active, eating and his eyes are so nice an bright. That is why I started a convo with Yvonne.

Isn't Digger adorable. How can anything without fur be so cute?

Have you ever tried to sand wet wood?
With a drimmel it would think it would not be a good idea. With a nail clipper I don’t think it would change much. I never had to do it someone with more experience will know
I've never soaked them first, but having experience with my own toe nails and that they're a bit softer after my shower, I can't help but think it would be easier to do after a soak. Good thinking.
