Hi everyone,
I have a question about my 20 month old sulcata.I live in southern florida. I have owned him/her since they were 3 months old. I have followed Tom and many others advice and recommendations as closely as I possibly can. The tortoise is kept in a closed chamber warm wet and humid night box for about 14 hours a day the rest of the day is spent outdoors with lots if sunshine and plenty of shade. She has daily outdoor access to tons of weeds and grasses and I add calcium and zoo med grassland tortoise food and cactus a few times a week. My question is about shell growth, I would like to know if the lumpy bits of her shell are old pyramiding from my novice care, and the new growth is healthier, or if in fact this new growth is not coming in as smooth and healthy as I would like. I would love to hear what you all think. Thank you
P.s today she weighed 1lb 7 oz
