Thank you for the quick reply! would you say master roshi is healthy? I have several pictures if you would need more.That is Marbling. It's common in the Cherry head Redfoots. It will probably spread as your tort grows too. Nothing to worry about. My Redfoot has some too.View attachment 282656

Generally whenever we get posts about marks on a tortoise carapace, it ends up being something that wipes off.Ha! I noticed fine white lines forming in my sonoran desert tortoise's shell indentations and got all worked up...turned out to be dried-on banana!
The slow and fast growth lines have made for a strangely attractive design.I think extra scutes or misshapen scutes give the tort a unique look. What a beauty you have there.
