Hi everyone! today i noticed that my red ear slider seems to have these pinkish lines that are visible faintly on the top of her shell, ive looked at a bunch of turtle shell conditions and i havent found anything similar to what my little girl has. the lines resemble a rib cage i guess? looks like there is a pink line down the centre and perpendicular like 4 times. if anyone has any ideas that would be great! i will bring her to a vet soon but she seems happy all the time and doesnt look sick so i thought i would ask you guys first! thanks a lot!!

Any pictures? It could be an indication of growth or some bacterial buildup.

I don't know if I can make out the pink lines, she does have a very pretty shell. Are the lines over the seams of the scutes?
