Hello,
I have noticed lately that my res has some kind of red/ pink on her skin in the back portion of her leg, is this anything serious? Please help. Should I bring her to the vet.

A little pink is normal around the webbing and where the skin meets the shell. If it's more red than pink or appears elsewhere, please add some pictures.

It looks a bit more pink than normal. Can any of it be wiped off? There are certain water-borne bacteria that are pinkish in color. If it's isolated to one area, then I would consider having your herp vet check it out.

Looking at your picture, it looks like the shell might have a tiny patch of fungus too. Would you mind posting an "overall" picture of your turtle? If your turtle is still pretty young, you may also want to have a vet investigate the puffiness in the leg.
