Hello everyone,
I just created an account because I got home from school for winter break and my tortoise appears to have some white lines in the valleys between scutes in his shell as shown. We keep him in an indoor inclosure that has some sand in it for the winter months so maybe that has something to do with it? Anyway, I just want to make sure nothing detrimental is going on.
Another thing I've noticed over the past couple of years that I might as well ask about while I'm here is the divot in the back his shell that you can see in the first photo. Not sure if that is normal but if anyone knows why that is happening, let me know!
And happy new year to everyone on here, lets keep our torts healthy this year!
Peace,
Bob
