What happened? (scratch on plastron)

[_tortoiselover]

I just noticed this little scratch? I bathed her and cleaned her but it was still there. I thought it might be dried up food that was stuck onto her shell but it won’t come off after giving her a soak. Do you happen to know what it is?

I'm not seeing the problem. Are you able to highlight the area you are concerned about?

 

[Yvonne G]

Are you talking about the brownish spot towards the bottom of the picture? That's the remnants of where the yolk was attached to the shell during incubation. How old is this tortoise?

It’s those brownish lines surrounding the whole plastron, do you happen to know what they are?

I see normal growth lines, and scute seams. I don't see anything out of the ordinary here.
