The growing process is from the junction of the scutes, or from the inside and add growth the ring?
Anyone can share how this occurs?

You can count the ridges between the light brown spots. Those are growth rings. Your tortoise has had looks like two growth spurts since hatch between the top and bottom spots. The next one will occur on the straight line between the scutes.
