Does this Red Foot look bloated?

Hi all! I'm probably being paranoid, but I wanted to get some opinions about my Red Foot, Raph. I took him (her?) out for a soak the other day and thought that the area around the hind legs and anus looked a little bloated. My tort has not shown any signs of being lethargic and eats like a pig. I feed primarily spring greens of course and every other day or so some veggies like zucchini, bell pepper, etc. Fruit is given maybe once a week- such as blueberries. Every two weeks he eats some wax worms or black soldier fly larvae, etc. I have some Mazuri for omnivores in the mail which I will feed maybe once a month or so.
Just before i took these pics, he peed an exorbitant amount of clear urine, and he ate his dinner immediately after I soaked him. Overall I think he looks great, but I want to be sure.

Thoughts? (much appreciated!)IMG-20200219-WA0007.jpgIMG-20200219-WA0006.jpgIMG-20200219-WA0005.jpgIMG-20200219-WA0004.jpgIMG-20200219-WA0003.jpgIMG-20200219-WA0001.jpgIMG-20200219-WA0000.jpg

Looks fine to me. Great growth so far. Whoever raised that tortoise for the first year or so did a great job.

Thanks for the input everyone! I got this tortoise a couple weeks ago from a reptile shop, and it's warming up to my family nicely. He has a crack behind his head which is healed completely (I think it looks cool), and a puncture- others have said likely from a dog- but its seems to be healing. His shell is pretty smooth. Thanks again for the input- much appreciated!!?
