Hi
Around 5 years ago my family adopted another horsefield tortoise who was rescued when he was found walking along the street on his own

When we got him we found that he has quite a weird shell deformity and I just wanted to see if there was a problem. I've attached some pictures to

Thank you for the help

It's ok. Nothing to do about it now except provide the best care and diet possible. You see this a lot on wild caught Russians because where they come from food is scarce. Then we take them in and give them quite the buffet of rich, moist nutritious foods. It makes their shells grow funny.
