Help! Tortoise has a Ridge on her plastron?
My hatchling Hermann tortoise is 5 months old now and I noticed today that she has a Ridge running the entire length of her plastron. Is this normal? I vary her diet with dandelion, turnip greens, mustard greens, kale, collard greens, prickly pear, dried herbal tortoise mix, and calcium powder. She also gets plenty of sun and UV. Am I doing something wrong? Pyramiding occurs on the carapace only, right?
