The lines between Earp's scutes are usually white, but I have noticed they are darker and shiny now? Is this normal?
Growth lines look weird?

What do you think @wellington @Tom ?
They don't stay white or cream. It all looks fine.

Wanted to make sure, since sulcatas aren't really my thing
The actual shell looks very dry, no luster. Might I suggest rubbing in some cold pressed coconut oil, allow it to absorb for about 15 minutes, then polish it off with a clean, dry, absorbent cloth?
Is the tortoise under lights?

Thank you. I was wondering how to moisturize his shell.
No. He isn't under a light, that was my flash to get good photos. He's outside most of the day and I bring him inside at night in a heated enclosure with only CHEs.
We have really hard water here and although I soak him in filtered water, I think it's leaving a residue or drying out his shell. I will try the coconut oil and see if it helps!
