hey everyone ! just wondering are these marks on einsteins plastron cause for concern ? they have been there for a few weeks now and im not sure if such marks are common on sulcatas plastron. is this somehow shell rot or really nothing to cause concern ? any input is welcome, thanks !

i have marked them in the following photos with also another photo from dinner last night ha.

Hi Brian:

That's just his "design." Truth to tell, I'd be more worried about the fact that the spurs on his front legs look like they have toe nails on them. :p
