Redfoot white lines around shell, wondering if growth or fungal

[Yus]

So my Redfoot is about 7 months old and has white spots around certain parts of their shell, wondering if it’s any cause for concern. Made a Reddit post and got mixed responses would like to avoid the vet until necessary because of how expensive they are ( obviously would go in a heartbeat if need be for the baby though)

That's called Marbling, it is common with the cherry heads. Nothing to worry about.

I realize I certainly am no expert...and I realize you have answered the OP's question...but that tort looks way too dry and it's starting to pyramid...or that's what I see...

I don’t think it’s starting to pyramid personally but where do you see it?

You are both correct.
And that pyramiding is caused by a lack of humidity.
Redfoot require humidity of over 70% 24/7.
Simply misting is not adequate
