Ok I just notice they lines on plastron a turning a little pink. I know I have saw similar post on here about it but for the life of me can't remember the advice everyone gave or what could be causing it. So any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks IMG_0719.jpg

There is a big difference !
Red lines between the scutes are growth lines. They supply the shell with blood for new growth.
Red spots or marks on the plastron ( they get bigger from day to day ) are dangerous signs for a sepsis.
