Hi Guys,
Ok so here are some new pics of Sunnys shell. The middles of the
scales are coming out more but how long would it take for him to
get better from being at PetSmart? Someone did tell me his shell
was delimitation?11938837_10152967095316968_882950847_n.jpg 11992407_10152967095911968_715159325_n (1).jpg 11998653_10152967096476968_698773805_n.jpg Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for asking I have been so busy? New puppy etc. I am really worried about his shell to be honest?
I will try and get pics? You know I got him from a Pet store that had him pretty dry? I did ask and do notice
that some of his scales are bumping out more but some more then others? Is that normal? How long would
it take for his scales to bump out and be normal? Must take awhile? Thanks

I think you are worrying over nothing. The baby looks completely fine. Give him a pile of moist sphagnum moss to burrow into and put him into it each night when you turn off the light. As he grows the shell will smooth out.
