Ben is correct. It sure has some deforming growth. Perhaps some MBD. This guy needs some extra care for sure. Appears to be either a very LTC or captive specimen fed incorrectly and possible husbandry issues.

Thank you very much for your answers. At first, I thought that there is homeana too. When I saw his face, it seems me more like belliana. I'm sure that he needs extra care. As I know his first owner keep him about 3 years. This owner has him about 6 years and he think that there is Testudo Horsfieldii. So you can imagine how "happy" this tortoise is.

As above, it is a k.homeana.
Medinukas, if you want kinixys species, I know a few people in Europe that have erosa and homeana in at the moment(and a lot who have nogueyi), if you could sort out transport from Germany, Italy, or the Czech Republic.

Flintus, I have 2 kinixys erosa. I have got them 1.5 years before. First is 6.3 inches, second is 7 inches. It would be great to know contacts of people who have kinixys for sell in Europe. The best place for me is Czech Republic and Germany. Thank you very much.
