I believe that's perfectly normal. You can probably notice it on both of them at different times. I don't know why, but on all of mine sometimes they do that more prominantly than other times.

Mine has that a little bit, in between his back legs and his tail. It worried me at first but he's just a little chunky monkey so it's okay I guess.

He's breathing when those "bags" go in and out.

yeah thats my turtle. hes not sick hes perfectly healthy. I dont even notice that until I took the picture and I still cant notice it. Maybe it was just that position and becasue he was eating. Dont worry Im sure your turtle is healthy.

Awesome thanks for the replies all, I know I worry alot, it's just after he got the RI infection and me so attached to him any little thing I take very serious. This would be a good post to compile all the little quirks and anamolies just in this post and put them on the main Information pages. Would save alot of people worry and people's time on the forums. Maybe something titled "Weird, but Normal quirks".
