Hello! I just got my baby tortoise and when I got her she had this on her shell! I have read several different things it may be! Please help? Someone found her and gave her to me!

Looks like a deposit, possibly from soaking in calcium water or some other mineral water. Try a light scrub with an old toothbrush.

Hi, and welcome to the Forum!

Please be sure to read the threads up at the top of the Sulcata section. There is a whole lot of new info in those threads about caring for baby sulcata tortoises.

Some sort of deposit. It should come of in warm water, but don't scrub too hard :)
