Hi all.
I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe during this quarantine. I picked up this red foot tortoise, Speedo, roughly 3 weeks ago from a breeder nearby. I feel that he/she has been growing pretty well, but I am getting concerned about the bottom of the shell and how it looks like it's been slowly "chipping" away. Also, I noticed that the stomach looks different compared to the others I've seen.
Sorry if this question has already been asked. I just hope that I am not freaking out.
Thanks in advance!
