I'm not sure if belly is the right word.But its the yellowish part, the bottom. I noticed that there was a white line running down the middle a while ago. And becuase my other turtle has the same thing, I didnt think much of it. But i looked at it the other day and it was pink. Is there anything wrong with that?

A pic is always helpful, but if your turtles are healthy, it sounds like they're growing.
What are you feeding them, how much and how often?

what worries me is that its pink. they get fed reptomin, once a day. and theyir behavior hasnt changed.

How much Reptomin? Has the turtle been growing noticeably?

It sounds like she's growing a bit too fast. You didn't say how many pellets they were getting, but if it's a lot, try feeding less pellets and more plant matter.
