Hello everyone

Im new here.

I have brought home on Saturday two Herman tortoises who are two months old. Bubble Gum + Hidey

They seem to be settling in nicely both seem to sleep loads at the moment but obviously they are babies

please could people advise me on a couple of things

one of the torts has a little bit of green under one eye, which im sure it wasnt there on saturday . could someone advise me what this could be as im worried he may have RNS??

Thanks
Bethan

Hi Bethan,
Firstly welcome to Shelled Warriors

Sometimes when they shed their skin it can look a little green underneath, which isn't anything to worry about.

I'm sure others may be able to give you other explanations if you don't feel this is what has caused the green.
