Our tortoise started showing a couple of pink-ish tinted spots recently, some on a couple of scales on his back legs and now also one line on his plastron. It is not a very strong pink, but it is notable, especially after he's been washed. The legs spots have been there for several weeks already, the stomach line appeared only now. He's otherwise been acting absolutely fine (eating, running around etc). He's already in his 20s so quite a sturdy veteran, but we don't recall anything like that happening to him before.
(Somehow at least on my screen the pictures don't show the colouring very well, but there is always one notable pink-ish scale, and on the plastron it is along the long horizontal line.)
Any ideas what this might be and whether it is a reason to worry/get him checked?
