is this normal

[naturalman91]

i got to looking igor over during his soak and i noticed his plastron is darker at the bottom half by his tail he's in a closed chamber with 84% humidity ambient temp of 84 with 86 on the basking side it never drops below 82 at night because i hold high humidity here are the photo's

Is the plastron soft? Is he eating and behaving normally?

 

[naturalman91]

no it's not soft he's eating and behaving just as he would everyday nothings changed i just noticed the dark marks i took him to the vet about a week ago just as a check up and he was given a clean bill of health i'm almost wondering if it's a yolk sac scar?

 

[naturalman91]

no answers??

I guess I'm not seeing anything wrong myself.... But I'm no expert... I can take a pic if my red baby's underbelly in a bit and post it for comparison?

 

[Ashes]

This is kind of what it looks like - I'll get a better pic in a bit...

 

[naturalman91]

Here is a pictures of my older red foots . The red foot in the looks normal to me . She was dirty . She likes to dig little holes to sit in.

 

[Ashes]

Yeah, I think it's just the coloring. Every wee one is different.

I am pretty sure (99%) it is the mark from the yolk sac. Since he is acting normal, in all other aspects, I would not worry.

 

[Turtlepete]

It's completely normal. Nothing to worry about.

 

[naturalman91]

thank's all i thought it was a yolk sac scar to just wanted to be sure

 

[Ashes]
