New Addition

[Traveller]

Introducing "Spot"
I'm tickled pink to have had the opportunity to purchase this little guy.

Hoping Spots a he but pretty sure too young to sex. Thought I had a pic of his underside but can't seem to find it. I'll snap another today and post it later.
Spot weighs in at a whopping 249g and measures at 11 cm.
We've only had him a week and he's already stolen every ones heart here. He's slowly settling in, still a bit shy but is eating like a horse.
Thanks for looking.

Very nice looking tort! Lots of blonde. Good luck with him and sounds like he's adjusting well.

Congrats. Nice looking tortoise.

Thanks we're very pleased with this little one for sure.
I snapped this pic this morning, any guesses on the sex?
He/she is still pretty little.

As compared to our older leopard who is 4 or 5 now.

I think I'm addicted.
Cheers and thanks for looking.

Nice pics... I would love to see another top shot, it seems the sun or flash drowned out the markings.. or i am really blind....

11 cm = 4 inches and 249 grams

very nice size.....

I am the queen of charting, so i suggest keeping great weight and length records....

Good Day Traveller ~

Spot is gorgeous! ~ lol, no wonder everyone is falling in love with your new family member!

I've tried to upload two pics, to show you the difference between my male & my femur, but can only seem to upload a link to them (I get red X's when I try to do the pic... being electronically challenged in that area here on TFO, lol)

My female, Snortie Tortie & My male, MR. Sweeetheart

Of course, in real life, the shapes are not usually as simple as I've described, but you get the point hopefully.

Anyways, congrats again!
