New Greek Tort

[Frankie2021]

Hey I just picked up my 6 month old Greek Spur-thighed and was wondering if this looked normal?

It does look pretty normal, that is where the yolk sack is attached when they hatch. It slowly absorbs and the shell seals up but it can look weird for a while.

I was so worried ? I thought it was shell rot or some type of fungus thing, I cleaned his underbelly with a soft toothbrush because he had poop stuck on there, I don’t think I hurt him cause he was happily eating straight after
