The marks you’re seeing are 100% normal and expected. One of the most experienced members on the forum here taught me (when I had the same concern) that she believes it to be calcium working its way through new keratin. We can’t say for certain if that’s true, but it seems to make sense since these marks are usually only visible in young, growing torts. The marks can appear as squiggles, circles or anything in between. If you do a search on the forum for “squiggles” or “white squiggles” you’ll see endless examples of this. Now that my tortoise is reaching more full grown size, the white squiggles and circle marks have become less and less.Hi, I am just wondering what the white lines are on my baby tortoise is this completely normal?
