Diamondback Terrapin "Brothers"...

[Redfoot NERD]

.. see how diverse!

Travis ( 4Life ) once showed how their colors change as they grow. Look how they can have two different colors / patterns out of the same clutch of eggs! This confirms the fact that multiple males can be in on a single 'brood' of hatchlings.

On May 24 '13 Sassy did this -

This created 6 eggs.. but my "ignorance" only hatched 3 - { incubated @ 81 ~ 82 F }



I'm keeping the first to hatch [ top one ].. of course!

These are the "Brothers" at maybe 8 days old - see how they barely covered a quarter -



One of those above Travis now has.. haha! Maybe he can tell???

And my 2 now.. just shy 10 months old -











"Who your Daddy???"

BO -



Miles - ( he was an old warrior! ) -



Just look at those 'silver-blue' eyes girls!

THE BLOOD-LINE CARRIES ON...

Mine is the bottom right in first pic and again on the right and next pic of the two.

Now ill add in my own example of possible different dads, but from same clutch or at least thats what i was told when i aquired them, they were from same clutch. One of which Redfoot now owns.

Started out looking pretty well the same.


Slowly changed to very different coloring.

Wow, I am always so happy to see these guys, they just put a smile on my face every time. I really love the lighter ones.
They all are gorgeous though.
