back by the tail and their bellies. It will harden up
as the turtle gets a little older.

I would make the staple diet Reptomin turtle sticks and then
supplement for variety. Also, use a UVB source such as
Reptisun 5.0.

Your baby is most likely just fine. Just check the areas
each week to make sure it is not getting softer or moving
to its shell.
