Sorry if this question is kind of dumb.
I was seeing some pictures of baby Sulcatas and realized that they all share a similar shell pattern. I'm guessing the pattern is like fingerprints: unique to every tortoise, but still babies look rather alike. But my baby has a very unique (in my opinion) pattern.
What do you guys think?
Maybe I'm just seeng her with the eyes of a mother. :p

Your baby has what is known as irregular scutes. This aberrant condition is one of my likes. I always look for the "special" ones. A good name for your baby would be "Zipper."
