I don't see any shell rot. Can you explain what you are seeing that I am not?

That is not shell rot. Sulcatas don't get shell rot. Try a search for "squiggly lines" or something similar and see what you can find. No one seems to know exactly what those are, but they are normal. They tend to show up most when the tortoise gets dry and then put into a soak.

Oh, the dreaded white squiggly lines disease!! This is nothing to worry about. Most healthy baby tortoises show these lines as they grow.

Haha thanks so much ! I'm glad to know that hes healthy with no "disease" but what are those dots on his top left and right ?

Those dots are part of the lines. Its no big deal. My sulcatas all have had this, but it went away after 8 months.
