Hey everybody,
My 6 month old Spartacus seems to have a soft undershell. The top shell is just fine. It's not playdoughy or anything it just seems really flexible when I touch it. I've read places that this is normal up to 9ish months but I want to run it past everybody first.
He's living indoors for the most part now due to weather, but he has a UVB bulb and has good temp readings (95 basking, 75 ambient). He's on a diet of planted weeds (all sorts of different kinds, and a christmas cactus for snacking), I spritz the weeds every other day with a liquid calcium spray from ZooMed and he really seems to like to soak himself in the little pond I've made him.
Anyways, do you guys have any thoughts on what could be causing the soft undershell?
