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
