Some water turtles, such as the snapper, have very small plastrons, but what's there is still hard.

I don't know of any tortoise that has a soft plastron, or stomach. When a tortoise is soft on the plastron it's because he's sick.

Some tortoises have four claws on the front and five on the back. Some have five and five. Some have four and four.

Can you give us more info and more description? Color, where found, etc.

Is this a tortoise you have seen in the past that you are trying to find again?

Ifs there a specific reason you want it to have 5 nails and a soft plastron?

I'm confused a little bit by your question.

To the poster of this thread, I hope you are not feeling like we are making fun of you or picking on you in any way. We are not. We are just having some fun among each other while we wait for a bit more information on this tortoise... like where you found it or saw it, how big was it, ect..,
