OK, This is TUFF, he is about ten months old. He was hiding when I went out to get you more pictures, lol!

I love all of you pics with little guys just across the fence from your adults

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's so cute! But I'll bet he's a pretty 'Tuff' guy. Any reason in particular that you chose to give him that name? I admit to some curiosity, and think I'll make a thread on the subject, re: everyone's torts.

Tuff was hatched on 04-16-2011 with eleven others and he had a defective bottom shell, it did not close and his organs were popping out. Well he was climbing over things and just so strong when he was outside that we decided to name him TUFF, just because he was such a strong and tuff little guy. Well he is doing just wonderful, thriving, however is issue is still there he is doing great and our vet said he should be ok without any further medical attention at this point. As he grows everything has compensated so is private part only is exposed thru his shell and everything else has stayed inside as he grew. Anyway, he will live here forever with us, we just make sure he gets cleaned every day. Please do not ask for pictures, I just do not want to share that part, he looks so good from the top and he is so happy living! I will find the picture that we named him after and post it here in a minute.

And, yes that would be a great thread, do it!

Glad that thread is doing well.

And any more pics of Tuff? That guy is an inspiration. I know I **** and moan when my knee is injured and I have to limp around, but I don't think I'd be moving around at all with my guts hanging out!
