This isn't mine but asking on behalf. This tortoise seems to have hardened skin that has built up behind the head and rubs against shell. Is there anything that can be done at home? Any oil that might soften the skin?
Could be an infection or perhaps an issue with the environment. I would recommend contacting a vet, although I don't know if there may be any that are experiences with toirtoises. Maybe a zoo?
