Recently Tiddles, my three year old Hermanns tort has gotten these little circular dots on his shell and I’m not sure if it’s anything to worry about, I don’t think it’s shell rot but I also think I might be overreacting.. I’ve attached some pictures so you can see, anyone know if this is normal? Thanks ? (not sure if you can see it very well)

It’s nothing to worry about. A lot of tortoises have those. Probably water stain.

Its normal and not harmful, but we don't know what it is. We've guessed and speculated, but never found a solid answer. Do a search for "squiggly lines", and you can see previous discussions.
