New growth.
Yep, its dusty and barely there but Irwin is certainly growing.
I thibk i have to accept that when shes grown shes going to be a real funny shape.
Where the back of her shell had kinda collapsed the new growth is shooting upwards, which is not what you want with a tort. Her new growth should be smooth and whilst im still learning about torts im pretty sure her diet and temps/humidity are fine so theres only so much I can do to help her new growth.
It may be that it needs to grow upwards in order to seperate away from the collapsed section. Or maybe its not even growing upwards, maybe it is smooth it just LOOKS weird BECAUSE it is around the collapsed parts.
I’ll have to keep an eye on her…but mostly im really happy she is growing.
