I have gotten so many of my questions answered here so I thought I would add my latest concern. Hatchback is about 3 1/2 months old. He is weaned off of the lettuce he was fed before coming to live with me and I feel very comfortable with the amount of food he is eating (heaping 4" terracotta saucer) each day, but now I find myself worrying about the light colored markings on his chin. Could he be scraping himself on something or is just his coloring? I am using the terracotta saucer in lieu of a piece of slate just because I had it on hand. Is that too rough? It has never been raw or sore looking. Is he looking okay? Am I correct in thinking that the bumpiness of his carapace is due to him being a hatchling and not pyramiding? Okay, that was more than one question, but they are never ending. Thanks for all of your help!
