Question about shell

[Savannnahrae]

it seems like this shell is growing over his tail.. This doesn’t look normal or like any of the pictures I can I can find anywhere. I don’t know what could be causing it or if it’s even an issue?

One of our more experienced members explained this for us - this configuration helps hold the tail and penis in place when the tortoise is breeding.
