It appears that my box turtle has developed a lesion in front of her right rear leg. It is quite deep and filled with soil. I had not noticed this because I do not handle her often as I try to let her live quietly. She has not shown any adverse signs of ill health. Her appetite is normal, she has been mobile, her bowels are normal, the only change I have noted is she is not climbing quite as much. I have tried to clean it out but I am alarmed at the depth of the wound. Should I find a vet that specializes in reptiles?
