ok thank you!!Seems to be pretty normal with Russian tortoises just picked up at a pet store and started being fed more food than it was getting before. It's really not a problem.
I think it is unsymmetrical. Is this harming her? Is there any thing I can do?In the picture it looks like the white growth ring is only on one side of the scute, so I wondered if the scutes are growing unsymmetrical. View attachment 178027
Ok thank you!!I dont think theres too much you can do about it. It seems like it happens often with Russians. My russian has thick growth lines around that band as well. And some sides of the scutes have growth lines while the other side is still stuck with another. I massage coconut oil into her shell once a month, or less. Just to see if it helps separate them. Im not sure if it helps or not but i dont know if any negative effects so i keep up with it.
