Hello! I have a few questions about my tortoise's shell growth and I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me. I'll attach some pictures for reference. I have a Hermann's Tortoise whose age I'm not 100% sure on, I would say anywhere from 8 months to a year old.
My first question is I noticed this white line growing directly in the middle of his shell. It is a little soft to the touch, and it definitely wasn't there before. Could this just be another ring forming in his shell? If so, why is it only growing horizontally through the middle?
My next question is can anyone see any signs of pyramiding? I think every tortoise owner has a fear of pyramiding and I would just like to not worry if I don't have to
I hope you can see the pictures good enough. Let me know if any are hard to see
Thank you to anyone who can answer my questions!!
