When do shells harden?

[mamameg]

Just this morning she was up to 54 grams and is now back down to 47. Soaking her and am very worried again.

I've never come across this but I can only guess that you shouldn't be able to shine light through bone.

@Redfool I don't even know what to do. I guess since she is still eating I will up her calcium intake and go from there. Fingers crossed for my little one.

She is doing so much better!

So glad to hear it. Hope it makes you and your tort feel good to be on the right track.

If those grey spots come back, and they might as your tort grows, just remember... variable diet, up the calcium, diffused sunshine to metabolize it, hydration/humidity and all should be good. [emoji217]

Her spots are still slightly there in the middle, but it is MUCH better and getting better every day. And yes I will be watching her shell like a hawk! Thanks for your help.
