her shell isnt soft at all where those spots are, and to me, it doesnt look like it has gotten any worse. could it just be scarring? any suggestions and opinions are appreciated


also, she is a very active little baby and EATS ALLLOT so she is very healthy

There are three major types of shell rot- fungal, bacterial, and contact. This looks like a mild case of contact (too wet of a location) that cleared up before it got very far.

However, it could also be simple abrasions from a rock or other rough spot.
