Hey guys. I am fairly new to keeping tortoises and noticed some red spots on my female Russian Tortoises shell just recently. They seem to be bloody and to be developing around a growth ring on the shell. She does not appear to be distressed or in any sort of pain. She is eating fine and eats a lot as well. I keep her housed with a male Russian about the same size and they seem to get along and mind their own business. I have a cuddle bone in the box (which I very rarely see them eat, if ever) and I feed them a lot of different varieties of leafy greens from dandelion greens, chicory, kale, escarole, watercress, and more. I have tried to feed them a powdered calcium supplement in the past but the white turns them off from eating. I also have a full spectrum UV bulb lighting the tank and try to soak them at least once a week. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Is it serious?
