Hello friends, I am thinking about buying these Flavos from a friend. But I think something is wrong with the growth of their shells. What do you think?ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1501372186.138767.jpg

Yes, they look a bit deformed. These guys really need to be raised in an aquatic or wet environment. From what I can see of the enclosures, they weren't provided this. No big deal, especially if diet is correct. If you do buy them, you should get a good deal. They should look OK as adults if set up properly now.
