How much is Izzy getting fed? A shed will really help smooth out the shell. I couldn't tell much from the brown ears, though some RES are like that so it might be the same as for cooters. Could you post a different picture?

The pink is from fast growing. Basically as since shell is growing so fast shell isnt as hard and you can basically see blood supply throughout shell. Once shell harden the pink will go to yellow. Its normal to see on turtle that have yellow plastrons. Rizzo will probably get the same pink look eventually.
