Looks okay to me too, Row. I think he's done the same as Tabitha and fallen on something that's left a dig in the shell.

Thank you! I just don't understand how he did it. The large bit is from underneath and where the neck joins the shell....

It took me ages to find where it had come from. Not once did I notice when I have been bathing him.

wouldn't harm I suppose but equally be ok I reckon if left alone. funnily enough that bit is overextended on Franlyn's shell and though not rubbing his skin yet I think it will and I was going to snip it off. After all that bit is like overgrown fingernails cause I think they are all shapes and sizes. I love your tort he is so handsome. CB

If you need to know you need to know, far better to ask than let things get out of control.

Agreed!
You're just taking care of Tetley, Row. They do like to keep us on our toes now and again.

You guys are the best!!!

I always worry I take and never give on SW, I know that sounds silly but that's just the way it I feel Not that you guys make me feel like that in any way.

I've had my torts for about 7 years but still don't feel I can offer advise to others in case it's wrong as I am no expert and do just what I do with mine.

I'm ok at posting pics though

Thanks once again Row xx
