Hi,
I noticed these whitish lines on my redfoot tortoise a couple of months ago.
At first I thought it was growth lines but they have become more prominent and they look raised.
I got him 4 years ago from a pet shelter with the pyramiding you see in the pic(his previous owners kept him in a very small container and fed him mostly lettuce most of his life )
He lives in a 3 x 8 enclosure with coconut substrate. I try to spritz him occasionally and also keep the substrate moist. There is a porcelain heat emitter and a good amount of sun comes in through a window every day.
I was told he was 8 when I got him, so I didnt think he would still be growing. I am worried this is an infection of some kind. Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated!
