About two years ago our tort had a small chip/crack on a scute. It was likely because his burrow was in the worst possible place where he dug under a concrete footer for a block fence. He would sometimes bang into the concrete footer when he was excavating. The small crack and chip slowly started grew into a larger and larger chip over the years as the layer lifted and flaked off. He's healthy, no problems, but I'm wondering if I should do something to stave off more flaking. I saw a video where a vet basically used something akin to auto body bondo to repair a shell that was literally fractured from a bad injury, not a a flaking scute. I wasn't sure if I should patch it with some type of filler safe/suitable for a tort shell or just leave it be and let it keep chipping off over the years.
