Lovely photographs , beautiful tortoise.

 

[Tactical Tort]

Thank you guys so much!
I don't understand why it's outgrown its 2 siblings by leaps and bounds! And they have almost no blond color. I worry I'm overdoing something. It seems completely healthy and happy.

Its simply beautiful. I love that type of pattern in leos

I do believe we now know our Torts a boy. While holding "him" he started pooping. While popping something came out that I'd assume to be his boy part.
This pic is after it pretty much went back in.
Anyone think "he's" a "he"?
I already suspected because of a slight dishing underneath and what appears to be a "longer" tail than some others I've seen at this size.

Yep male

Wow he has completely changed colour! How amazing! Absolutely stunning!

 

[Tactical Tort]

It's been pretty cool watching the color changes.
Now black is starting to come back along with more blond.

Love how his colours have changed

 

[Tactical Tort]

Thanks Sara! It's been a cool adventure! As soon as I get permission from the breeder (my friend) I'm going to add hatching photos. She took them so I want to be sure it ok.
It's been a fun experience to see the eggs, then embryo's all the way threw.

I love the heart on his shell.

 

[Sarah Winchester]

Aww how awesome hopefully we will get to see the pics once you have the permission
