hi everyone i have noticed these white, dry looking spots on the bottom of my tortoise. he is around a month old. his plastron feels firm and healthy but i just wanted to know if these little patches are indicative of health or are just a natural part of his plastron. does anyone know if these patches mean anything?

It’s a little difficult to say from the photos, but let me tag @Tom @wellington abd @Yvonne G to see what they think🙂

Whilst you’re here, don’t suppose you’d mind sharing how you’re keeping them? It’s nice to see with new members😊

What are your temps like? Ie basking spot(directly under the bulb) overall day temps, nights temps?
What kind of lighting/heating are you using? Packaging pics are handy
Do you use indoor uv? If so what kind?
How’s your humidity reading? What do you use for substrate?

A pic of your full set up would be wonderful if you’re ok sharing🐢💚
