Hi, I got my tortoise Wilson about 3 days ago and he looked perfectly healthy at the pet store he has a nice shell and all but he also has a big bump on his shell. Did i mention he is a Forest HingeBack Tortoise. Should I worry about the bump or just keep an eye on it?

My baby painted turtle has that too... my mom put polysporen on it and it seems to be a scab it came off(O_O!!!)i dont think its bad but if it gets big or spreads i think you should go to the vet...

I dont think its serious try the polysporen
