Shell damage - caused by bad husbandry

roedeane · 13-03-2007, 05:51 PM

Hello, whilst I know that a female with a lumpy/deformed shell should not be bred from - I believe it can cause problems with egg laying

Is there any harm in a male being with other females

I just ask out of interest as I don't have torts with damage like this but generally interested,thx,Yvette

You cant really just make a general assumption, you would have to look/check out the tortoises to see how bad they are.
