I came home today and noticed the left part of my 3month old tortoise's shell looked like it was indenting. I've been giving him daily soaks, cuttlebone sprinkled on his spring mix with a constant UV light, heat lamp during the day and I take him outside almost everyday. I was gone for two weeks and I don't think my dad ever soaked him, instead he just put water in a shallow dish in the enclosure. I live in Arizona and recently was informed that they should not be living on alfalfa pellets and do need a substrate that holds humidity (when I first got him I was misinformed). I'm new to owning any type of reptile so please help.
He is still very active and social, running around everywhere and trying to eat everything.
