This is a little difficult as its not all bad husbandry that make a lumpy shell, some torts can be kept same conditions and be slightly lumpier than others. Some of mine graze all day and they are as smooth shelled as my Horsfields who are fed and not self sufficient. but that's just because if I grow plants they eat they to the roots or bury under them...

Jan has it spot on with the other bits too. I am a great believer in misting them which creates a microclimate. I do this daily for the indoors ones even if they go out on warm days. others I will shower the under side of the roof so it drips on them ! CB
