At the front of the carpace where Irie's head is, you can see a spur that protrudes from her shell. It looks like it could poke her when she holds her head up. should it be removed? thanks in advanced.
should I remove this spur?

I think I would. but thats just me...
I'd definitely leave it unless it's causing any harm or discomfort to Irie. I'm not a RT expert, but it doesn't look out of the ordinary to me.
It is natural for Russians, many of them have it there. I would not do anything with it.
Looks like a nuchal scute, not a spur. If you think if will cause a problem, you can gently file it smooth.
thank you everyone, I will probably leave it unless I see it injuring her.
might be safer to file it off before it causes harm. I was told to use a clean nail file on something like that. Wouldnt want it to get infected or anything if it does poke her.
