i recently noticed this weird "substance" on the bottom of my red footed tortoises shell. Do you guys have any idea of what this is?

Yep
That's fungus on your Cherryhead.
Get yourself some athletes foot cream (any brand) and smear some on those areas. Repeat every day or two for a week. It'll go away.
( I usually only treat once or twice and forget about it)
One treatment usually ends it. A week will 100% do it
