Hello all!
I finally got my first tortoise yesterday and am ecstatic! She is a sulcata. Her name is Willow and she is 3 inches long. I have no clue how old she is. When she came, the first thing I noticed was a scratch mark on her shell and her raised scutes. Since she is still a baby, I expected her shell to be smooth so I am concerned she is pyramiding already. Can you please take a look at the picture and confirm? Also, she spends a lot of time in the hide after she eats. Since she is in an indoor enclosure, I'm concerned she may not be getting enough sunlight. ...?
