Causes of rotten skin in Egyptian tortoises:

1. Rotten skin is caused by Monospora infection. Due to the high density of breeding, turtles bite and squeeze each other, causing skin trauma. After the invasion of bacteria, the skin tissue of the injured area will be red, swollen and necrotic.

2. Skin wounds that are not treated in time or are exposed to harsh environments are prone to infection, erosion, and odor. When the infection is very serious, the tortoise will eat less or refuse water and food.

3. Rot skin caused by temperature difference. Sudden changes in temperature will not only cause colds and pneumonia in turtles, but also cause rot skin. Therefore, it is important to control the temperature when raising turtles, especially young turtles.
