Hello, all!
I'm sorry I don't know how to send a picture, but perhaps someone can tell me whether a 3 year old Desert Tortoise's carapace should be entirely smooth?
I posted a thread about this yesterday or the day before, and no one has responded, so I thought I'd try again.
I want to know if the shallow concentric grooves of my Cholla's carapace scutes are a sign that she is beginning to pyramid. She's always had them, and I presumed they were part of normal scute growth and "decoration,", but I've already made very many mistakes, and this might be one of them.
As always, I'll be grateful for any response from any of y'all. This forum is TOPS.
Thanks in advance.
P,S, Apropos of nothing, Cholla, who was lost and found earlier this week, is at the moment sleeping on my chest just under my chin and inside my shirt. As always when she does this, she makes occasional comfortable-sounding clicking noises with her beak. When she was lost I feared I'd never hear those little noises again. It's real bliss to have her back. Thanks to those who responded to my post with such understanding.
