Is it respiratory enfection starting?I'm worring about it.Maybe it can be fungus...

On plastron there is a pink spot, like a flower.

What are these?!

It looks like an injury that is bleeding in between layers of plastron. I am not sure of care that needs to be done...

It looks to me like the plastron might be broken towards the tail end. Has she had a fall? How long has it been like this? Does any of the red rub off?

I think the red is not good - bleeding or infection. Best get her to a good herp vet right away. If this is infection, she needs antibiotics from a vet right away.

Is the tank kept clean? If you use a new, soft toothbrush to gently scrub the area, would it come off?

I saw it 8 days ago...Our tank is clean and it didnt fall anywhere...I'm going to talk to my vet.But can someone help me?
