Turtle shell rot??

[crimson_lotus]

I just checked the plastron of my turtle, which is a lot darker than it used to be. It's not soft or sticky, not flaking off...just doesn't look great.

Attaching pic of now and 2015 pic of plastron. Hope this is superficial, this guy has had a tough life.

Looks fine to me. Sabine maps often get those dark blotches on their plastron as they age. Normally the seams just bleed wider dark bands, but I've seen those blotching before.

whew! I am so glad. It didn't look like typical shell rot to me so I was worried. Thank you!
