That is actually an interesting thread from what I just read briefly on it. I will look for the more recent one when I have time.
I did find it. Thanks. I still don't think it's a sign of being well hydrated. A wet tortoise will still show them. A tortoise being wet doesn't mean it's well hydrated.I don't know how to put a link. The title is "what happened to my shell" and it was in August 2013. I will keep looking for the newer one.
I would love to see the thread. The links already posted, I don't see anything that says it's a sign of good hydration.
Don't know if I'm missing something or it you guys are reading more into what has been said.
@Yvonne G @Tom csn either one of you confirm if you have said that the squiggley lines are a sign of good hydration. When I click on the links above posted, your threads seem to be the first that pops up.
No fire, just an interesting topic. It's just not the first time some of us have heard it.Hoho.. i am sorry i lit up some fire here. This aldabra sure has weird marking
It's all good. I just wanted to get it straight. Don't need misguided info floating around if we don't need to. You never know who might see those lines on their tort and think it's well hydrated when it really isn't.Hoho.. i am sorry i lit up some fire here. This aldabra sure has weird marking
See.. @ALDABRAMAN 's aldabra always looks nice. Why some of aldabra hatchling has brown mark in their shell?
This is aldabraman's baby alda
This is the other aldabras, not only one like this, will the new growth be like this in the future?

@Fredkas hi there
Did you ever find out what these brown marks are. I do not think this is shell rot, and I don’t think it is dirt either. I have lightened photo to exaggerate a little
