This looks somewhat similar to another recent post of a plastron...
Is the turtle healthy---active and eating well? What is the turtle being fed?
The redness, from what I can see, (the picture is rather blurry) is on opposite sides of the plastron, but in the same area. What kind of basking area does the turtle have---is it abrasive?
Are there any places where the shell is open and peeling? Just from the picture, it really doesn't look like shell rot to me.
