Does my tortoise look healthy?

[Kevtxr]

Hello guys would appreciate if someone could help me.

My tortoise is 2 years old and I just want to make sure he’s healthy.

I’m colour blind so I can’t really tell what colour means his shell is healthy.

Please see images and let me know if there’s anything I can do to improve.

Thank you

It’s a German tortoise and I’ve had him for a year now.

From what I see the shell is growing smooth and his eyes look clear. Assuming you soak him, he is warm and has a good diet then continue the same. There will be feedback re red light as that can cause eye issues.
I recommend using digital scales to weight weekly and keep a growth log, This helps you spot any weight loss and gain.

Hi,
He looks fine to me, is he eating well and active?
I think you need to start looking for a bigger enclosure now though, with bulb updates (red bulbs confuse them and encourages then to eat things they shouldn't)
This is the up to date caresheet that will help you with that.
