Sulcata tortoise shell hardness?
I have been into reptiles for some time now but i recently acquired a sulcata who is about 1". Never had a tortoise but was wondering about how hard their shell should be. I do not know the diet prior to me owning it but i was thinking it could be a calcium or mineral deficiency. It feels general sort not that i could scratch it with my nail but its like reinforced leather. I feel like i could split it if i tried and i can see if flex when pressed and not very hard at that.
i attached a picture
