Holy crap, when I read the title I was thinking someone put crystals on a tortoises shell. Silly me...

I'm so sorry to hear....

When my neighbors think I'm crazy just standing outside and staring at the grass (I have dogs in my backyard, and they still haven't figured out I have hatchlings). And the looks they give me every morning at the same time when I'm out picking weeds off my front lawn.

I saw a sign on one of the tanks in my nearby petsmart about some "coming soon" redfoots also! Its so weird. I don't think they should be selling animals period. Too bad I can't help them. =(

I have some of the first and last picture in my front lawn, nut always afraid to pick them. I only feed them the one that I know for sure is dandelion. =/

Looks absolutely beautiful. Sun leen fai lok.

Thanks everyone. After I picked him up I didn't know whether or not I made a mistake. When I went to get him, he was kept in a tub on newspaper and he was so dry =(

He walks fine. Like any normal sully, with a special shell. Although his bottom shell looks different compared to my other one. So it makes it harder for him to climb over things. Ill take a picture of it tmrw (its already lights out for them) ;D

LOL I thought the same. My 3 year old said, " mommy we have to get him, he has a funny shell!"[hr] Have decided on a name yet, it will be up to my son.[hr] Haven't decided on a name yet, it will be up to my son.

Thanks I'm glad to hear. So is he what people will call an imperfect hatchling?

Sorry didn't even realize I didn't post a picture.

Saw him on Craigslist and I couldn't resist. Didn't see his weird shell in the pictures at first. But when I saw him he was just adorable (even with the funky shell and all). He seems healthy and active. Would the deformed shell be a problem later? I don't think the previous owner fed him very...

I had that problem when I used soil and play sand. I decided to switch to coco coir completely, and no more bugs =) and I find that its easier to keep humidity up, cause the coir holds water better. Hope it helped.

Agree with you 100% ^_^

RE: the new "what do you look like" thread Just found this thread and then snapped a quick one of myself. Not the best but oh well. ^_^
