I posted photos about the really red Allegra cherryhead and now it's time to spotlight "Carlos" a Carl May youngster.

From the plastron, it looks like Carlos may start marbeling on his/her carapace, keep an eye on that new growth.

Carl's hatchling have a higher chance of marbling. I would not be surprised if Carlos starts soon.
