Split in plastron
Posted: 23/07/2016 by MollyandFrank

My horsefield Frank's plastron has a split right at the top in the part under his head. Hope you can tell from photos. Am worried this is shell rot. Do you think he needs vet attention and is there anything I can do in meantime to help? Thanks.

Hello,

It is normal, it's just that you haven't spotted it b4.
