Is this normal? My tort has white lines between her shell

Those white line are new growth on his shell, that is good.

Oh ok, thank you. Shes 1 year and 4 months and does seem to be getting big fast
Do you have a water bowl/clay saucer in there along with the auto waterer you have? She needs one big enough for her to get into and soak if she wants? She really needs one if you don't.

That is her only water dish but I soak her often
That does not look like regular new growth to me. Can you take a better picture with more light?
Yes the pic is not great. Could possibly be marbling but as toddrick said .. its kinda dark
You really should add the clay saucer.
Just noticed that.. good point cubby fan ?

I hope this is better
This looks like shell fungus possibly. Get a cheap tube of athletes foot cream and apply it to the white area for a few days. If it's fungus it should clear up. If it isn't the athletes foot cream will not hurt anything.

Ok I will try that
All tortoises need to be able to sit and soak in their "pools" at least every other day.

Her enclosure is 90 to 100, I give her mazuri tortoise food and various vegetables but she's pretty picky

I am going to order a clay dish so she can get into it and soak whenever she wants
