Hey everyone

I was just handling cadwell (russian male approx 4/5 years old now) and I noticed his shell has alot of dips and crevices. I've noticed it before but never thought much of it but the way the lighting was really exaggerated it. He seems very happy and hes VERY active.
When I first had him his shell and beak were still very soft and we had to give him liquid calcium etc for a while. The vet said he probably hadn't had a great start in regards to care. I presumed it was due to that.

Can anyone see anything concerning?

Thanks ?

Greetings. There’s not much that you can to correct the issue, BUT you can continue taking super good care - good proper variety of foods, lighting & soakings.

Good luck.

Yeah he gets plenty of soaks, UV lighting, good food and supplements etc. Just wanted to see if anyone could see any specific warning signs or issues or whether it's what I thought and just a concequeunce of his rough beginning.

Thank you ?
