Hey everyone. I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I notice theres been that dry white area on her shell near her head and its been there for awhile now. I also noticed some white spots near the center line at the bottom half of her plastron. And also some suspicious areas near the side. Im worried it might be shellrot but im also afraid that if it isnt then i’ll end up putting betadine on healthy tissues :(

My tortoise is around 1 and a half years old. 5.5 inches long. I dont know her weight though :(

The white on the scute seems is marbling. Those squiggly lines on the cream color are nothing to worry about.
I don't know what those brown marks are, is this what you were talking about.
