My russian tortoise has had the white squiggles that seem to be under the shell for some time. He shows no signs of being ill, doesn't smell bad so I don't suspect fungus, and loves his food and bath time. Please have a look and tell me if it's a nutritional deficiency or if he needs more UVA/UVB.20231004_153453.jpg20231004_153506.jpg

It's nothing to worry about. Not sure why some tortoises get them but it's very common.
