Hey Guys,

I Noticed A Soft Spot On My Golden Greek's Shell. She Is About 3 Months Old. I'm Not Sure If It Was Always There ( Got Her When She Was About A Month).

Thanks For The Help!

When you say soft, how soft? Does her shell just feels soft or does it feel spongy? In any case, it's a good idea that you provide a small sprinkle of calcium on her food twice a week for a while. Remember, very soft shell may be a sign of metabolic boon disease (MBD). Plenty of natural sun, along with calcium supplement, will provide the vitamin D3 she needs in order to prevent this disease. Can you provide us with a pic of your tort?
