I've spoken with several individuals regarding the depressions. And they've told me that it's a sign of growing exceptionally fast. I don't know if that's a good thing. The ENTIRE SCUTE is lower than the ridges. I don't really know how to describe it other than this. Also, the scute ends near the bottom of the shell flare out a bit. They should be getting enough nutrients. I am feeding them properly.
