White Marbling

[thisiscowboy]

Hello! I have a 5 year old Hermann's and I've just noticed he has developed some kind of white marble / bubble markings on both of his sides. I've never seen them before so think they're pretty new, is anyone able to help identify what this could be and is it anything to do with his diet or habitat?

Thanks!

My tortoises also has this, it doesn’t seem to affect the tortoise.

Nobody really knows what causes those little lines but they tend to appear when a tortoise is well hydrated.

Thanks for such a quick reply and your reassurance!
