Is the red line that goes through the center of the plastron; that appears during growth spurts; actually some sort of blood supply that is supplying the shell with nutrients for growth? I notice that is branches off at each plate. And on that note I would point out that my tortoise has gone from 284 grams to 472 grams in the past 30 days; I'm guessing it is in some sort of growth spurt. It's been like someone has been changing tortoises on me, in that the change is actually visible..
