hi all
percy is a 3 month old hermmans tortoise. we have had him for about a month and i was getting slightly worried about him because he has a little horn coming on the end of his nose. Is this normal?

Hiya,

Has it always been there?

The only think I can think it might be is his egg-tooth?

Have you a photo please?

Any chance of you posting a fairly close up photo of his beak please?

Im sure this is the egg tooth. I have baby russians about 3 months of age and they still have theirs.
