Hey, everyone my tort, titus rex has a extra scute across the top and it looks like a extra one on the bottom of the back. It looks like theres a little crack going up. Hes only 6 months old. I will post a pic as soon as i figure out how. Any clue on the crack. Temps good, humidity good.

That does not look like an actual crack. Your tort has an extra scoot and it appears to be the growth margins around the scoot

I appreciate the answer. He has a extra scute on the front of his shell also. I just wanted to be sure he's ok.

Yes, that's perfectly ok. It's what we refer to as an aberrant scute

Thank you you have made me feel better. He or she is just 6 months old. I learn so much on this forum
