 Russian Tortoise Cloacal Spur

Hello, I’ve been on this forums in my younger years of herp keeping, and this time its about my Russian Tortoise I’ve had for years. I grabbed him to take him outside and noticed his cloacal spur (the scale at the end of his tail) was hanging by a small thread and was very loose, like a loose tooth. Is this a problem and should vet be consulted? Or is this natural and he will regenerate another scale? It doesn’t seem to affect him in any way at all. Just my concern. Thanks for any help!

give the tortoise a bath and then rub him down with the reptilian conditioner that will help him alot make sure you have him under the florescent beam 12 hrs a day he will be fine.
