What caused this??

I saw this picture today and now I'm wondering what the possible cause of this shell deformity is and what kind of tortoise is this?

It's a leopard.

Many possible causes or a combo of all of them. Things like humidity, diet, lack of exercise, heredity, just to name a few.

Hot lamps, no humidty, and dehydration are what usually cause that. Looks like it had a dry start, but then moved to somewhere better.
