Worried about plastron

[katfinlou]

Hi, could anyone tell me if Belles plastron looks ok? Im worried that i might be able to see a slight pink streak down the side. The rest of it seems ok to my untrained eye. If it is slightly pink and could be the start of a problem Id rather get her to the vet sooner rather than later...
Look at the side where top joins bottom near my thumb. Is it pink and a problem or am I worrying over nothing?

I see very slight pink. Not sure if it's a problem or not. @Yvonne G or @HermanniChris might be able to help

Thanks wellington. I just noticed it tonight when I was giving her a bath and I wasn't sure if it was just bad lighting or me being a fuss pot so im glad you can see it too! She seems to be perfectly fine in every other way, hopefully the people you suggested will see this and be able to advise me. She's doing so well just now, I'd hate for her to have another setback.

I actually don't think it is anything to worry about. The others will be able to confirm.

Thats simply growth, nothing to worry about at all. This is very easily visible in Testudo tortoises such as Hermann's.

Thanks so much, ive been worried sick since I found it. So relieved and happy it's just because she is growing

And here I thought the tortoise was rebelling, and went out and got a tattoo.
