So love the pics so far. Now, it's hard for me to post pics because I'm on an iPad and well, I am not to knowledgable about it LOL. So, are we going to win something for all this effort or is this just for fun:p:D Just kidding. Okay, I'm not kidding about the iPad stuff, just the effort and prized:D I'm liking your idea though, good job.

I don't have a picture to contribute (yet) but Yvonne, is it just the picture or is the beak on that phayrei DISGUSTINGLY overgrown? In the picture there looks like a bird bill practically....

In that picture yes it is overgrown. If you happened to have followed threads Yvonne has on this fellow, you would know it has to have a beak trim I believe it's once a year (I may not be correct on how often it is that trimming is done).

Oh, thanks Jacqui. Not doubting here experience here at all, I was just wondering if there was some sort of problem with that fellow...With that beak, I don't even see how he could have eaten :(. But maybe I'm thinking its more extreme then it is.

Kelly,
What is the species depicted there? I can't tell just by the heads :). The hatchling looks like manouria?...

Thats a kinixys?....I guess if I could've seen the back of it...It has the face now that I look at it, but the over-all appearance seemed to...flattened?...Odd.
