Could this be Septicemia, or does this happen from shell growth? No changes in Mabel’s behavior. Still eating constantly and basking. Been using Betadine (50/50 with water) for 5 days. Not getting worse but not getting better. Changed bedding from Cypress Mulch to Orchard Grass in case that was too rough on plastron. Also quit misting tank twice a day for humidity purposes in case that caused this. Give calcium every other day. Feed Red Leaf, Green Leaf, Romaine, Spring Mix. Basking spot 95-105 depending on area of slate he/she lays on. Any help would be appreciated. I have seen two other pictures on the internet exactly like this but nobody definitively said what this was or what happened, etc… I’ve had Mabel since October. Noticed this 6 days ago.
