Default Marley Nearly 13 Months Old

Here's Marley, I've had him nearly a year now.
He was born 27/06/10 and came to me when he was a month old.
He was 19g when I first got him and is 52g now. He was my first ever tortoise and I've tried to do my best for him.

Anyway here's some pics















Please be honest and tell me how his shell is looking?
I'd hate to think I was doing something wrong that could be put right

The chipsi is slowly being removed, the table is 50/50 now, but next time I clean it I will change it to 75% Tortoise Life and 25% chipsi.

He looks so happy

Thanks
I do worry though, he doesn't feel as smooth as when I first had him. I don't know if this is a normal thing or not.

They tend to have quite a smooth flat shape when they're hatchlings. As they grow into a more domed adult shape they're not so flat and smooth. I think he's growing beautifully though

He looks really nice. His house is wonderful, what kind of cage are you using for him?
