No light. In Nor Cal, so no night heat needed right now. The crack is new since yesterday, whitish spots I suspect fungus, but not positive. I will soak him to rule out dehydration. He has a pond he goes into everyday.

Do you have a light or heat source hanging from the ceiling of his shelter? It looks like the new growth is being burned.

No. His new house has a radiant heater, but since it's sunny & warm here he doesn't even need heat until the fall.
