Hello everyone! New owner here, I got my sully from the reptile shop and she ( not too sure the sex ) has a bump on the front of her shell I’ve had her for about 2 weeks now & I have her in high humidity, Non coiled UVB , basking spot & also I use a CHE at night & I also do her soaking & misting. She eats Bermuda & mustard, turnip , dandelion greens etc. I also do a little dusting of calcium as well. I noticed before I got her that the pet store only fed the Sulcatas broccoli. Not sure if this is normal ? Can anyone help?

Hi, and welcome!

You'll need to post a picture so we can see what you're talking about.

Are you talking about the edge right above his neck? That looks normal to me. If you think it's going to cut the neck, you might take a bit of sand paper and smooth it out a bit.

No the bump on the scute, right above the neck, I tried to get a good enough picture to show what I’m talking about but that’s the best I could get sorry :/

It's probably nothing. Just wait and see. Sorry, I can't really see the bump.
