Is Rockys shell as it should be?

[MrsSmuffy]

Hey, we've had rockey for around 6months now and have had no issues arise, however holding him this morning I thought his shell looked odd.... is this "normal" or is there something wrong?

ANY advice would be appreciated ?

Looks alright, some pyramiddal growth already, that means not enough humidity. regular soaks can help, but you will need to get humidity up in the enclosure, possibly could be related to lighting as well. If you put some shots of your enclosure up we can discuss.

The deformation is just cosmetic.
