Hi everyone!
My little guy is 10 months old. Weighs 175 grams. I have noticed this tiny indentation between the scutes for a few months but didn’t worry since he is thriving. Recently on Facebook I’ve seen it on other pictures of other young Sulcatas as well so now I’m wondering what it is?

I’m not sure what you are referring to?
Maybe Pyramiding? Most people on Facebook have tortoises that are kept in Dry conditions.

I know. It’s really a tiny indent. I’m sure it’s nothing. His shell is really smooth. I’ve tried to get a close up.
