Marbling

[Raymo2477]

My two years old Red Foot is starting to marble in the center of its belly..is where it normally starts? BTW I am sure it is NOT shell rot.

If you post a picture we can tell you. I'm not really familiar with the RF tortoises, but I'm thinking the marbling starts on the carapace.

Post a picture .marbling starts on the top . You could have the start of shell rot or fungus .

Yes, it is normal, but you can post pictured just to make sure. Check out this thread about different types of marbling: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/marbling-in-cherryheads-different-kinds.26463/#post-257826

Here's some pics...there's no evidence of marbling on top, and this really doesn't look like shell rot to me.
