Russian Tortoise has a sore on his mouth

by Kimberly
(West Allis, WI)

I just noticed after cleaning my russian tortoise's home out that he has a sore on his mouth. It's almost like a hanging piece of skin. It's the same color as he is and he's still eating and acting the same. What could this be?

 Sore Mouth
by: Shelly

If your tortoise is still eating, that's a good thing. If this bothers you , or if it seems to bother the tortoise, do see a vet. Only a physical examination can tell you for sure what is happening and what to do about it.

If you post back here later to report what happens, you will help others who visit this page later.

Keep it slow and steady.

hello,
the sore you are saying can be just its skin falling off, as it may be getting a new skin, or it can even be tumer that has developed.
please consult a vet as he will be able to test it and guide you better.
