Baby hermanns with belly ridges

[MadeyK]

I just noticed today that my tortoise had a line that is protruding from his belly that goes straight down. I know this isnt normal but what is causing it? Ive been getting him wild dandelions, plantain, and clover mostly and get mazuri every so often. Is there something else i should be doing? He also does get daily soaks, also he is dirty in the picture because he just ate

Which line ?
Looks like normal growth. Hard to see anything abnormal in this photo.
Maybe your could take one more and circle the area of concern ?

The line that splits his shell in half going vertical, it bumps out a bit... is that normal? I got him end of march

Looks pretty normal to me.

Thank you! It was never like that before so i wasnt sure if he was malnourished in something or if it was just from growth

I am sure others will take a pick as well.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary there. Looks like a normal plastron to me.
