My Frankie's plastron is a lot more wrinkly than it used to be. I'm fretting in case it's shell rot, as his substrate was probably too wet for a while. (At first we used the tortoise table and Aspen chips the shop recommended. When we changed his habitat and substrate, I think we overdid it and poored too much water into the coco coir because I saw a video by a breeder who had his on very wet substrate.)
Here are two photos of his plastron (in the second one he fell over in his playground, he is only allowed to go there under supervision). The pics aren't very good, but you can see the wrinkles if you zoom in.
I'll try to take better pictures tomorrow.
Is this something to worry about or is it just the way his plastron is growing?
I've put athlete's foot cream on it just in case and he's going to the vet this week.
Thanks!
