My yellowfoot, Lettie was a rescue and since I've had her she has gained about 200 grams and I have uvb for her when she's inside and every chance I get they are outside. My question is her growth on her shell shows more in the front them in the back and she shows marbling in the back. Can yellowfoots marble? Or is this a defect? What can I do to help her growth be more uniform or will she just grow into herself? Thanks!

All looks good,....marbling can take place just about anywhere on the shell....are you sure that is a female? The shape from the top is a little hourglass like....perhaps just my eyes playing tricks????

Thank you! I'll take pics of her plastron, it's flat and her tail is tiny, I'm no seasoned tort opener but my guess she's a girl. Lol

Hahaha, it'll get you every time! She's (he's?) very pretty, nice and smooth too.
