I am new to tortoises, but I love reading and learning about them. I just got Henry my Russian Tortoise about a month ago. He was a gift and was purchased from a chain pet store, so I am sure he was wild caught and not well taken care of. I have been working to get him well fed and hydrated since then. I am a little concerned because his shell is not smooth in the back, it is kind of concave along his spine, and some of the scoots are raised in the back. There is no pyramiding, although I think that is rare is Russians anyway. What do you think?
