2 quick questions about the little guy in the pictures. From what I know he's not yet a full year old yet. He's small like 2-3 inches max. First question is his plaston is very soft on the bottom. I've read that's not uncommon for his age/size, but I want to be sure. 2nd question is as you can see in the pictures, he has a slight discoloration on the top of his shell to the right of his neck (just on one of the plates) and (maybe) on his plaston as well. Shell rot? Idk. Other pertinent info: he lives in las Vegas, he is a 100% outside turtle. I make him a salad of deer grass, regular grass, hibiscus leaves, prickly pear pads, a bit of carrot (which is like crack to him) and some rehydrated alfalfa mix. He eats well, doesn't drink much that I can see even though he has access to fresh water 24/7 (but who knows what he does when I'm not around) his enclosure is like 100 sq ft of grass/gravel/dirt. He recently spent about 3 days down in his burrow (its not yet cold but avg temp did drop like 5 degrees but this is Vegas so it's still plenty warm). Just being cautious. Please let me know if I need to take him to the vet or if I'm being overprotective.
