.......Nothing is lacking from this tortoises diet. The"pinched" look is normal and is described in the original description of Manouria. It has a birth defect of the lower jaw. It is a male. Vic Morganmikeh said:The animal in the post #1 appears to be female.
The animal in the post #7 appears to be male.
The male has a considerable under bite along with a hint of pinched rear costal (C4) scutes possibly indicating something is/was lacking in the nutrition/husbandry.
