Not sure what this white is on leg and back of shell

This ke not my Tortoise it lives in a care home and im trying to take care of him. Not sure what this is, if he's brushed into something or not. Doesn't feel spongy on the shell and is very small but also think the tail has a little white on it. Can anyone help please?

I am doing my best to care for this beautiful boy

He lives in my mother's nursing home. I take him outisde when its warm and give him soaks etc, im about to buy him a much larger home, but today this was his stance when I bathed him. Am I right in thinking he looks relaxed? I really hope so I am on the case every day to try to care for him. I have no experience with tortoises but I love him and am aiming to get him a 6ft x 4ft enclosure built asp. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated thank you.

Can anyone please give me a definitive answer which soil is ok to use for plants for the enclosure of a Horsfield tortoise?

Ideally something I can order in the UK from Amazon, apologies if this has been asked over and over but I dont seem to be able to find any final correct answer and I am nervous to use the wrong soil. Thank you :)

Not my tortoise, looking for advice regarding his care and needs

I am helping to look after this lovely boy, I don’t know much about tortoises but I am learning. I know he likes a bath, to get outside in the sun and eating dandelions for a treat. I know his shell has some pyramiding (?) but I wondered how his colour and skin looks (from the point of view of people who know). Any advice on what I can do to help him live his best life would be much appreciated, thank you tortoise people!
