Please look at these pics, I'm wondering if this is normal growth. Rocky back middle scute, (one up from bottom scute) was lower then the other slightly pyramid scutes since we found him a few months ago. Today I noticed a side scute growth area is indented, compared to all others. It's hard, his whole shell is hard. This indent is really hard to see in the photos. He was about 7 ozs when we found him, and about 10.5 ozs now. He mostly grazes, but is offered mix spring greens daily. He's outside often, hot humid. Inside is also 78% humidity, and 80 degrees overnight. Also he seems to be producing more urates then before, but I soak him and he pees a lot more too. Could something he grazes on be high in protein? And could it effect his shell? Sorry for another long post, I just want to provide enough info. Thanks for any help.
