Soft shell? Shell rot?

[Christina Chornomud]

Can you guys tell me from these pictures if his shell looks okay/normal? Also, underneath his shell is a little bit softer on both sides of his natural line but it's springy still. Is this soft shell or is it normal? Also do you see any shell rot on his shell? Please let me know

Looks young sonshell may not be firm yet. Soft shell is sometimes a lack of calcium though. Hopefully someone gets on here that can id shell rot or not...

I don't see any rot . As for the shell is it soft like a plastic bowl? If so its normal . Make sure he has good uvb lamp and calcium .

young ones start out soft and harden over time. you only have to worry if the shell starts getting soft. UVB and calcium will harden him up. the shell looks good to me.
