So yesterday I decided to give Vegas a good cleaning because he had so much mud and some poop on him (I am sure his burrow still has water at the bottom from the rain we got Saturday). So after he was clean I noticed the pink line going straight down the middle of his plastron and after pressing on it I realized it was soft and I know it should be hard. The rest of his shell is completely hard except for that pink line.
I went back and forth on PM with Tom about what it could be and his reply was dead on about what it could be, what may have caused it and what should be done to fix it. I gave him one last cleaning this afternoon because he had mud caked on him again (everything above ground is dry, so it has to be from his burrow) and once I finish posting this I will be closing off his burrow.
I am posting photo's so everyone can see and tell me what they think...
Thanks for looking and any replies positive or negative will be welcomed... Got to learn somehow...
