She's too little. But I don't like the look of the whitish areas on her plastron. Possibly a fungus. Is her top layer of substrate dry? They need a higher humidity but with the top layer dry as they are prone to shell rot. See what others say about it.

Yeah it looks like some fungus going on . You can use some foot cream to fix it up . Here are some pictures of some meds to clean it with .

I am not sure if my husband kept spraying the substrate or not when I was gone. I know I spray it daily. TY for the fungus warning - I'll take care of it


My husband said he washed her belly (after I took the photo) and the white stuff is gone - but I will still make sure that she's ok and get those lotions
