I just noticed that the bottom of Gem's shell does not look right. Does anyone know what this is or is it normal?
Thanks :)

It looks like some fungal shell rot. You can use over the counter athletes foot cream on that. Keep him on a towel or paper towels while using it. No water in the enclosure. You have to wipe it off, than clean it off before you soak twice a day. Your going to have to do this for a week to a week and a half.
