i’m not sure this is normal look at the bottoms scutes of the sulcata they look as if it’s marveling or is it shell rot also my Hermanns tortoise has a pink underside and a few bumps i’ll show images

You cannot compare 2 different species of tortoise...He looks normal to me...I don't see the pink lines of sepsis, not rot just the coloring of that particular baby. And his butt is really cute...

Both look fine and normal. The pinkish hue is vascularization to feed new growth.
