Thanks for the quick reply, it is the plastron that is soft. What worries me is that it appears to have gotten softer. I do not expect it to be real firm like that of a baby sulcata, but i fear the worste of the situation because as I have noticed the increasingly softer shell, his activity and eating habbits have slowed down, unless i take him out in the natural sunlight. I am not sure what a veterinarian would be able to do for me, but I will have to give it a try. I am a pre-vet student at the Ohio State University, also an employee at the Veterinary school, but unfortunately we have no DVM's with a good herp background. If you have any diet reccomendations i would appreciate it. I just cant figure otu what im doing wrong.
Josh
