General Care Discussion :: Pink

[Wildcoyote]

Hello. My turtle has a slightly pink line in the middle of his plastron.
Im not sure what it is?

[SpotsMama]

Can you post a photo? When the shell is dry?

[marisa]

You could post a pic if you're really concerned. ..

Is your turtle small? Has he been doing some growing? It's not unusual for the seam down the middle of small turt's plastrons to be slightly pink, especially if there's been some growth.

[Rocky YBS]

A pic would be great so we can see what this 'slightly pink line' could be.
i agree with marisa.
has s/he been growing at all?
can you send a pic of the plastron dry?

[Wildcoyote]

Yeah my turtle is small and he/she has been growing.

[Rocky YBS]

hmm, could you send a pic?
has it allways been pink or has it been pink for a few days now?

[Wildcoyote]

here is the picture sorry for the blurrines i photographed it with my cell phone.

[Wildcoyote]

Oh and its been pink for some time now maybe 2 weeks or more and it seems that the pink color dissapears when i put my finger on it and when i take my finger off the pink color reapears.

It may be because it's young or just the pic, but that plasteron looks odd to me....is it flat and smooth? It looks a little misshapen to me.

[ice]

yea it looks like it might be lumpy or somethin

[Wildcoyote]

nope the plastron is flat and it is not lumpy.
it's just a bit darker on the sides.
