Hey guys, after soaking my sulcata this morning I saw a bunch of reddish-pink on the underside of his shell. I am so worried its shell rot or an infection if anybody could give me some info?? I also attached a photo where you can see the top of his shell.

Hello and welcome. What you are seeing is vascularization that supplies new growth. Your tortoise is healthy and growing.
