How do veterinary surgeons operate on turtles and tortoises? Where do they make the incisions?
In: Biology
I once saw pictures of a C-section performed on a tortoise that couldn’t lay her eggs. The pictures showed that they cut a small square in her plastron (the down side of the shell) where her belly was, and then they took out the eggs. The piece of plastron was then put back in place and secured there until the tortoise was healed and the square was reincorporated to her body.
