I'm concerned about my turtles shell, Is it healthy?

Her scutes are shedding and I noticed this dull spot on her shell. I'm not sure if that's normal or not.
she's 3-4 years old.

Post#1 Welcome. Your turtle looks good from what I see. A little on the fat side but it could just be the picture.

Is that where she shed? Do not peel back any of the shedding areas but keep a close eye on it.

I agree... a bit fast. Looks like she grew pretty fast, you might want to re-evaluate the diet. Maybe make some changes to the tank since you know you have a girl.
