Default My tortoise has yellow stuff on her ear ?? help!

Hey my lil baby horsfield has like a yellow blob next to one of her ears iv tried to move it to see if its something stickin to her but it wont move i cant get near it because the wee rascal wont let me! could it be an infection or anything ? its kinda like a lil seed but it wont come off her ear thats why im worried!

Ok since its dried up it looks VERY like a lil seed possibly from a tomato she was eating but it still aint come off :S i suppose itl fall off in time

have you tried bathing her? you can splash the water over her and it should come off, she should have a daily bath anyway
