Its shell lenght is about 2 cms long. I've gotten the information that it's normal for such young ones to have soft shells and it will gradually get harder, however, I'm still worried.
The breeder I bought it from also swears that it's completely fine if I only bask him on the sun in the spring and summer seasons, it will be absolutely fine in the autumn and winter if I use proper frozen food containing both calcium and d3.
How accurate is this information? Should I be worried?
I do everything correctly (sans the UVB in these seasons), meaning good food, perfect water temp, low water level so that it can breath without much swimming, a big terrestrial spot it can climb onto whenever it wants, etc.
