Is this shell okay?

Is this shell okay? Is there anything I should do for it?

I don't see what you're concerned about.

It might look a little dry. Do you soak the tortoise daily?

I wasn’t sure what to look for, but I was looking at the middle where there is a white part. I just thought the shell had started looking different, and I didn’t know if something was wrong

I soak about 3 times a week, but I could start soaking daily if that would help. Usually when I soak I scrub the top of her shell lightly with a wet toothbrush

Upon closer inspection, I think I see a replaced section on the carapace. It looks like the second vertebral scute was damaged in the past and new keratin has replaced it. It looks perfectly fine and nothing to worry about.

Great, thanks!
