Thanks Adam, it has surprised me how smooth the first 2 have gotten since I got them. Both had some very bumpy scutes when I got them, but in the last few weeks it's drastically changed.

The third one looks pretty much perfect to my poor old eyes, the other two, one can tell they had an early dry start, but smooth as a panther skin codpiece since.
Good job, sir.

Is the new torts eating mazuri ?

Funny you would ask today, I just put some in with each one today. Hercules started eating it and Casper just walked away from it. Yesterday they both ate some cactus. It was a huge success. The new re-home tort in a week has gained 70 grams. She went from 490 to 560. She loves Mazuri, pretty sure she never had before. Zeus the older baby still won't touch t.

I would take him in a heartbeat

I would take him in a heartbeat

But you have to give him back.=)

I certainly would.

I would like to help out a breeder and just take some in and raise them right to 100-300 grams and then he could sell them. I just enjoy that part of it.

I can't seem to get him over 49grams he's bouncing back and fourth between 47-49g. But he does have new growth that little stinker

 

[cmacusa3]

Closing in on 400 grams

Update on the PP. after looking at @diamondbp pics I figured why not add mine to this thread. Both are late September hatchlings both were around the same weight (around 60 grams) when I got them but the white one was has really taken off, it's 140 and the other is 101
