I wanted to make sure this wasn't a sign of illness or injury - there's a white band around my eastern hermann tortoise's neck, just behind the head. It spans all the way around and is usually hidden in the initial fold there except when enthusiastically eating. Is it new growth, where the scales haven't fully hardened/colored yet, or where they've been worn away somehow? I don't see any abnormal puffiness, though I could be missing it. He's a few months old at this point.
