Hello everyone,
I have noticed some red spots on Hermy's 2 feet and his shell looks transparent at some places, we see some red from his blood, I am not too sure if it is normal growth or something else. He has a very good appetite and is very active. His temps are 24-25C on the cold side...
Hello everyone,

Opinions are welcome :)
