I noticed some poop stuck to my little one’s belly. I wiped clean and dried and noticed the underside has some divots. I assumed she had black markings on her belly but was that wrong? Should it be all one color and smooth? Thanks in advance.

Any other advice on my set up or for a new tortoise owner always appreciated.
Thanks again!
Ok, I made some progress... Per the great advice, i added some plants and made a plexiglass lid. I stopped using the coil light and ordered a t5 hood lamp. The ceramic heat bulb will arrive tomorrow and i’ll switch out then.

How long can this shy period last?

Does my set up look okay? i don’t have a humidifier, i’ve just been misting the substrate.
Thanks again!
