So... a couple of weeks ago I noticed a very little whitey thing in my sulcata's carapace... I first thought that it was calcium dust or something like that... So I didnt pay much attention...
about 4 days ago, I saw it once more, so I decided to wash it...
today I was looking at my little sulcata and saw it again!!
its a very tiny white line.. here is a picture
what do you guys think?

Hard water stain. It's a mineral deposit left behind from mineralized water, after the water evaporates.
