The dry looking area? You dont see it? Its closer to the lower part of the plastron. It doesnt smell at all. I called my vet and they are out until after the holiday, only emergency appts.I don't see it either,Yvonne.
And +1
That area of its shell could sit in urine or runny poop?Thanks Ed,
Everything ive been reading says if it is shell rot then I need to check my husbandry, I have checked it and dont see how I could possibly make any improvements. Looking over his enclosure the soil is not wet, is not moist on top, if i dig my fingers down to the dirt a bit then it becomes wet, just like any soil here in FL. I have a large piece of ply wood as a roof in there. I have lifted it up today so that just in case its too moist down there it gets dried out good by the sun today, i'll put it back down tonight. I guess i'm just a worry wart :\
Will do sir! Thanks!That area of its shell could sit in urine or runny poop?
Again. Clean it. Treat it and don't worry about it.
