What should a healthy plasteon look and feel like on a 3 month old Leo Tort? Should it be as hard as the carapace? Should there be any 'give' to the plastron if you lightly depress it? Lol and no I am not squeezing him but I was checking for soft spots on his carapace while holding him between 2 fingers and noticed his plastron has a bit of give where his carapace does not. Thanks!

The plastron isn’t as stiff as the carapace for a baby. After some time it starts getting harder.
Can you show a picture of the Carapace?
