Any chance you've beed feeding the tort foods high in protein or fat? While it may be swelling, the second pic you posted looks like uneven growth (he looks to be growing faster than he should. faster than his shell.). If this is this case, you can expect (in extreme cases) digestive and respiratory problems.
