Can anybody tell me what these little white marks on Treacles shell please? They are like little white circles. She has them all over her shell. I don't think it is catching, as she has had it a while and Tyson and Legs don't have it.

I'm sure I heard people talk about these before. It is to do with rapid growth. I'm not saying yours has grown too quick, it's what I've heard . :)
It's not catching ! So no need to worry.. :D

yeah they are to do with growth, nothing to worry about in the sense of infections, just watch the food intake! ;)

Thank you for quick replies. I do actually believe that they are probably due to rapid growth. Treacle is a real greedy tortoise. I am cutting her food down slowly, but am a tad worried she will end up just eating Legs 11 if she gets too hungry. :lol: Bless her. We do love our food in our house. I have started to feed them on separate parts of the table now there is an upstairs and and a downstairs. so hopefully that will help her.
