Default Is my Tort growing okay?

Hi all, I want to make sure that my tort is growing fine...I notice the front of her shell is growing 'higher' than the back (see 2nd verebral scute). It's my impression that the 3rd scute should be the apex of the shell?? or am I wrong??ANYWAY, I am just a bit worried my tort has some 'metabolic bone disease' issue...

She has 2 x UV strip light in her enclosure and temperature as normal (~32C high, rtp low). I feed her pellet and 'Florette' salad with Calcium every day. D3 supplement 3 days a week.
