Do you know if it’s just new growth coming in? I was concerned because it’s not necessarily the edges of his shell only which I know is normal, thanks for the response!

Hey everyone, my tort is almost 3 and recently I’ve noticed these translucent spots. He eats food grown from the garden, takes supplements 3 or 4 times a week, and he has a calcium bone available for whenever he needs it. He also has an enclosure outdoors for when it’s warm. The transparent...
