I am sure you will not welcome this news but I regret to inform you that your little tortoise shows many symptoms of metabolic bone disease.
The carapace is pyramided. Spinal depression is evident.
The nails are overgrown. It is not receiving appropriate exposure to natural sunlight or diet.
These problems can all be partly corrected over time but without address of these deficiencies and immediate veterinary intervention that little tortoise faces a dismal future.
