I’ve noticed these indents on Theos head on both sides. I tried to circle it in one of the pictures. Is it normal? I just got him on Tuesday
Indent on his head is it normal?

It is a little difficult to tell, but I'm guessing he/she is a little dehydrated. I would be sure to soak him in nice warm water each day for 45-60 minutes. How old is Theo? Where did you get Theo?

Will do! I’ve been soaking him every other day but I can do it more often for sure! We got him from a pet store/rescue thing (not a ton of options where I’m at sadly) they said he’s a 4 month old male but.... everyone’s saying probably a 5 year old female so I’m not sure. I want to take him to a vet once quarantine is over but I’m hoping to do it around the time his beak would need trimming so I can do it all at once
Why do you want to take her/him to a vet? You must be very careful what vet you choose and I would recommend only when really necessary. You can take a stool sample to the vet and have it examined for parasites if you are worried about that. The beak can be easily managed by feeding your tortoise on a piece of tile or clay slab.
