that makes me feel better about the dent lol i guess some torts just have a dented butt, what about the white marks? look unusual to you? but then again leopards and red's are different lol

Joe has a dent too probably caused by dietary issues when he was small. What do you feed your tort? What do you use for UVB? Does his plastron (under shell) feel hard?
