No, not normal.Hi, recently i have noticed that my star tortoise has this pinkish small looking swell/skin on its neck, below its ears on both sides...is this normal?
Hi Ascott, Pls advise how to cure?
Yes, apparently is the same tortoise that has slightly soft shell and with the pink swell on both the necks.
Yes..sounds good.She is happy eating and moving around, without any issue...I'm just thinking to soak her more often to see the neck area would recover...as there is still some flaky skin shedding off.
It looks like it may be the start of an ear abscess. You can't lance them until they ripen.

Yes. It will swell and get hard then turn white. Then it can be lanced like a boil. Best to have a vet or tortoise rehabber do it
...plus it is very young.
