Turtle without tail

[Kjelltortoise]

Hello everyone! My tortoise doesn’t has a tale but like a little bump with a hole, is it bad for her? And is it a male or a female, the owner told me it is a female but I don’t know.

Hi and welcome,
Very unusual. I've not seen anything like that but there are plenty of very experienced keepers who may have.
What species and age is your tort?
Does she pass urine and faeces OK?

No it's not bad for her and it does look female.
The hole you do know is her cloaca where she poops, pees and and lays eggs from.

Hi! Thanks! It is a kinixys nogueyi I think. But I’m not sure because it’s verry smal and has a weird dent in her shell. The men I got it from said it was 1 years old and that was 3 years ago. She can pee and poop normally!

I don't know that species but there are keepers here. A photo will help you get a definite ID.
As for her size and dent, if you also post pics of her enclosure members can help you make sure her living conditions are not affecting her growth.

She gets fresh food every day (banana, strawberry, apple, salad, tomatoes) a few mealworms every day And fresh water. Her enclosure is 100cmx40cm and I give her vitamin drops every day and she has sepia what she can eat when she wants. I actually made a new enclose what is 150cm-66cm and I wil get her in soon,Here some pictures of her and her enclosure
