I got my baby sulcata on Tuesday and it didn’t have these spots , the next day I gave him his first soak and noticed them in the afternoon should I be concerned?
The pet store owner told me it looks like the other tortoise and that I shouldn’t worry .

Looking closely at the plastron, I do see many little pale circular marks, giving it a mottled appearance. Don't know if this is normal. @Tom @Yvonne?

Oh. Apparently it's normal. I just saw an earlier thread about it.

My tort had the same exact white circles - on the scutes mostly and a few on the plastron - when it was 2-3 weeks old. FYI, the will grow larger until they fade away - it's part of the growth! My tort is now 4+ months old and all the white circles have gone away! So nothing to worry about!
