Klaus the Redfoot

[Raymo2477]

I've had Klaus since he was two weeks old. He's now almost 4.

He's getting white spots on his carpace...is this anything to be concerned about?

I'm assuming your talking about the marbling? This is normal for redfoots.

 

[Raymo2477]

Not the marbling on the plastron, but the white spots on the carpace.

 

[G-stars]

Is it showing up with new growth?

 

[SarahChelonoidis]

That could be marbling too... Do you know what origin the parents were? What does @N2TORTS make of this one?

Marbling tends to start out looking something like that. Honestly a lot of folks mistake marbling for shell rot and treat it as such.

Marbling, not shell rot. Some of mine are doing it, I discovered they weren't 100% northern, not saying yours is a mutt though. See what others say.

Agreed, it's marbling.
Looks like a male too.
