Hey everyone,

I am babysitting my mom's tortoise while she goes on vacation and her shell seems very flat to me. I don't remember it looking that way when she was younger.

What I mean by flat is that there is very little arch to the shell. The individual sections seem to have normal growth but the overall shape of the shell is relatively flat if that makes sense.

If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Do you have any photo's of your mom's tortoise that would help big time...

I am not at home right now but I will take some tonight and post them tomorrow. I'm not sure if I'm imaging it or if it really is abnormal.
