White Line on Tortoise Shell

That is a growth line and completely normal! Although, that growth line is thicker than it should be, are you certain you are feeding it a proper healthy diet?

Yes he may need more calcium, but it looks like he's growing rapidly, you may need to not give him to much food during each meal. Also variety goes along way , some of these types of Tortosies may only eat every three days.
