his shell is deformed from being kept without humidity. do you provide him with calcium and a UVB light?

So would i be able to reverse what is happening to him ??

the growth he has now will stay the same for the rest of his life but the new growth can grow normally.

Thank you
I dont see a problem with letting them walk round the house as long a people watch them , i just dont think it fair mine love to walk around alot and they do in the wild so why not let them walk around if they are safe , i just dontget why people think its not alright :s

Hey i think my tortoise has something very similar and only developed the white lines this past year and i was worried she was ill. She has a UVB light and i also give her calcium and baths, is there anything else i can do to make the shell healthier?
