Good evening, My leopard tortoise, Tony, is currently ~10 months old and he/she has been active and eating well. I wasn't so concerned about it when I first got Tony but now that he/she's getting bigger I'm starting to get worried about the scutes lining his/her spine. The rest of Tony's shell is smooth as I've been keeping the humidity around 80% and soaking every other day. I've attached some pictures and I'm asking if Tony's shell/spine is something I should get checked out by a vet or I'm just worrying about nothing...
also, the pictures might make it hard to tell but it's the scutes lining the spine that are raised...
