Hi,
Sorry I forgot to say he also has those swirls and bubble marks on the bottom of his shell? I did ask before you guys about
those marks but when a tort breeder said he had a shell infection I am really worried? Someone said and showed me a
pic of there tort had them also? Thanks
looks to me like a Hybrid ....Yellowfoot/Redfoot......the marks are normal none the less.....
Here is a Yellow foot from a few years back .....same attributes. Maybe some experts can chime in ...
Hi,
I thought also maybe some kind of mix and one vet told me that also however, someone on here told me
there is not such a thing and got pretty upset when I said he could be one? lol So I am glad you said it and not
me? lol But does he look like he has that pyramiding? Thanks
Hi,
Sorry just saw the pic you also gave me? What the heck is it though? Someone
out there must know for sure? What kind are those torts in the pic? Redfoots?Thanks
Burmese black mountain tortoises(meps). No idea what it is. It seems to fade sometimes but hasn't gone away. It hasn't affected her growth or anything...
Are you talking about the little white squiggle lines inside the keratin? Yes, we're quite sure that's nothing bad. It shows a healthy, growing baby tortoise.
"bubble and swirly marks" or "white squiggly lines" - same thing. It's just that if you do a search for "bubble and swirly marks" you probably won't turn up any results, but if you do a search for "white squiggly lines" you'll get many threads in your results.
Hi,
Thanks Yvonne. I read them all you have gave me and it still seems to me that one know-one still really knows
for sure what they are? lol I just got really worried as you know about Sunny when a tort breeder said they
some kind of shell infection! And then I got even more worried when someone mentioned about pyramiding.
You dont think Sunny looks like he has that does he? Thanks
Sunny looks beautiful and perfectly fine.
There is nothing externally wrong with his carapace that I can see, in fact he is gorgeous.
With the right environment, including temperatures and humidity, he should be fine.
