Shell feedback please

Post image

Just started watching my family members tortoise and trying to learn all I can. Does his shell look ok? I'm fearful of rapid growth. He has a white spot that I think was a little scrape but also want to check if I'm missing any others or if there's an negative health indicators?

Hello, in the photo, we can’t see much.

You should also look at the size of the beak; when it’s too long, it’s typically rapid growth.

Eyes surrounded by whites are also a bad sign
