Hello All,
I just noticed my baby Sulcata has some pretty deep dents on his plastron. I received him a couple weeks ago and haven’t noticed them before, but I could have just missed them as I don’t assess his plastron regularly, or at all. Please see the attached pictures and let me know if this is something I should worry about.
Setup:
Enclosure: 8ft x 4ft grow tent
Substrate: Cypress mulch topped with coco coir.
Temp - Ambient High: 83f-85f
Temp - Ambient Low: 80f-83f
Temp - Basking: 97f-100f
Humidity: 85-90
UV: 5+ hours in sun weekly
Diet: Grass, Clovers, Dandelions, Collards, Kale
Soak: Daily for 1 hr
