Black Skin And Shell?

black on russian tortoise shell and skin

My 3 year old russian tortoise has always had black parts on her shell (but it was pattern-like so I figured it was normal) but now its starting to look, well, different. And her skin is turning black as well. Is this normal? She looks kind of sickly. And if I have to take her to a vet, will any vet do? I dont know of any exotic vets nearby.

I have Russians too, yours look fine to me, the color does change and so will the skin color as she gets older. Unless she won't eat, has weird stool, or shows sign of a cold, I think she's ok
