Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Hi Guys,

I'm an amateur when it comes to turtles so I came here for some expertise :D I recently got some baby RES and for the most part they've been behaving normally (swimming around, sleeping, basking, eating both vegetable and animal matter that I offer). I want to know if the image below is a cause for concern.

The image isn't perfect, but along the central seam, its kind of a dull white, like the color you see for tile plaster. Is that shell rot? o.0 Also, there are some reddish-pink shades/tints around the edges. I'm not sure if thats normal or possibly septicimia. >.<

Thanks ahead of time :D

Everything is good, the white dull coloring is just growth. Its white like that for a little and then it turn to a normal coloring
