We buy hundreds of CB tortoises a year and see this every year or two. They always resolve themselves. No special care required. They go in with the normal population, they sell last, but they always straighten out before they sell. Usually inside of six months.



The dip you illustrate is in the carapace of the tortoise.



Nice pics!
