Hi,

In the past week or so i’ve noticed a few marks on my yearling russians shell. Not sure if you can see them in these photos but the lines between his scutes are also lighter than they have been before. I thought it was just growing lines but wanted to post on here as he’s my first tortoise. He’s housed in a viv where the temp is 27C hot end, 22.5 cool end, and about 35C basking area. Humidity is around 80% with fresh water available.

Thank you [emoji4]
