I just got a three month old baby sulcata and he seems to have 3 small sores or lesions on his plastron. he's in a 40 gal tank with orchid bark. temps are 75-90 (gradient) and I soak him once a day. He has a UV light and is also getting calcium as every meal. I am overwhelmed with the abundance of misinformation I am finding on sulcata care. He eats dark leafy greens at the moment along with some grasses. He's not lethargic at all. Any ideas?
My tortoise has what appears to be fluids (red so probably blood) in between carapace and plastron. Closest thing I could find online to what it looks like was someone posting about their tortoise falling of a hide log and sustaining trauma, but my enclosure doesn't have anything to fall off of. It doesn't look like shell rot that I've seen before. About 2 weeks prior it started rubbing it's head on it's legs and it's skin seemed dry so I feed it more romain lettuce and soaked it a bit more.
Hi, thank you very much for attending my concern. Giro is a Reeve s turtle that was born in late October, he/she is sharing the space with Taro, another of the same specie 9 months aprox. Giro is getting the Plastron's line pink almost red, and I am afraid the Taro kun is starting to get it as well. I got Taro before Giro but . never happened before. What should I do? Your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi my baby turtle has a black spot on its shell.
My red footed tortoise ( who I have had for many years) is acting very weird as well as she won’t eat and she’s limping with her back feet , she is normally very friendly and loves people but she sort of like hisses and doesn’t wanna be near people. To me this is very concerning
I have no idea what kind of animal this is. Is it a tortoise or a turtle? My grandmother rescued it from a golf course and now she isn't able to look after him (or her?). I need to know what kind of habitat this little guy needs, and what diet he needs, please and thank-you!
