Hello all
I have owned my tortoise for 11 years and I’ve never had any problems with her. She is kept in an indoor glass vivarium (upgrading to a table in the next month or so). I bath her regularly and she has a diverse diet and eats very well.
However, I recently changed a blown lightbulb and was recommended an all in one bulb which does UVA, UVB and heat and I have noticed she has little white squiggly rings on her shell recently. Also when the light is on she doesn’t seem to settle, would it be too hot? Are the lines bad and would it be linked to the light change?
Also I’m concerned about pyramiding I recently saw some posts on and now I’m concerned about it as I’ve noticed some of her shell is raised.
I have attached pictures which you can see her shell (obviously haha) and the white squiggles if you zoom in.
Any help or anything would be very much appreciated
Thank you!
