Hey there!
Whilst bathing my boy today I noticed one little part above his leg was a lighter cream colour than the rest. Out of curiosity I rubbed the other side thinking it may be a build up of dirt.
Upon researching, I feel like this may have been keratin. I'm now questioning if this might be shell rot or not. I'm under the impression that it's not usual for a scute to just rub away like this and I can't think of any other reason so id really appreciate a second opinion.
The shell isn't soft to the touch and nowhere else looks like this, I am just very confused by this.
Thankyou so much.
@Yvonne G i think you may have addressed similar situations before?
