Shell Question

[Ileana]

Hi, I've had my russian tortoise for about 9 months now and I've noticed that her shell has changed. She always used to have white color spaces in between her shell, but this week they have widened (Especially near her tail). Should I be worry? Hopefully this picture can help to show what I am talking about.

Pyramiding but not too bad, should just be cosmetic so long as she’s housed right with you

As long as it’s a closed top(not mesh), looks good to me!
