Oddly Shaped

I am wondering if this is normal with Sheldon’s shell. The back is long, is that normal and if not what would it be due from? Thanks

I think that is quite normal - our Hermanns is that shape too - he is nearly 22 now, and it has become more noticeable over time. Have you had him long ?

That’s great then, thank you Angie. I was worried. I’ve had him about three years, and was told he was two years old at the time.

Your tortoise almost looks like a marginated tortoise with that outgrowth or whatever you call it.
