Hi guys having trouble with images.I have A female Russian Tortoise that has thick white lines that are very visable .I have read about growth lines but am not sure if its to much to fast.She is very active and eating A lot.I feed her every day wich I read can be over feeding .Is there any reason she has such noticeable lines? Could it be any other issue?
Thank you all in advance

She has probably gone through a long period of not getting much or the right kind of food, and now that she's eating better, is experiencing a lot of new growth. It has always been my gut feeling that if the overall silhouette of the tortoise is right, the growth or uneven growth doesn't matter.
