Hopefully the picture shows up this time. I was looking underneath her shell and in the middle of her leg and arm on one side it appeared to be raised. Should I be worried??

Yay that is a beautiful shell pattern
Thank you for your feedback. She is so beautiful. Her shell appears to be fine today. Weird!
I looked today and her shell still appeared to be "shedding" in that one spot. Is this a sign of shell rot??
beautiful pattern coming in!

Shell rot would appear pitted. The shedding you're seeing, does it look/feel like when your nails peel? You know, like in the winter when the top layer of your nails seem to split... Kinda like an old piece of yellowed scotch tape. I can totally picture it in my head, not sure I'm describing it right ;-) If so, as long as the "new shell" underneath looks fresh and unblemished, that's normal, another way their shell grows.
Perfect description! Yes it's exactly like that. Just like she is shedding in that one area. No pitted areas. Thank you so much! I was so worried.
