The bumps on a red-eared slider's shell are known as carapacial scutes, which are the hard, bony plates that protect their body. These scutes can become prominent due to the turtle's growth, particularly in younger individuals, as they develop and shed layers. Additionally, bumps may indicate health issues, such as shell deformities or infections, so it's important to monitor their condition regularly. Proper care and a healthy diet can help maintain a smooth shell.
