Not sure if this is going to work. I've been trying to download my pictures since I joined this forum but for some reason I have not had any luck. Let's see if this works.....

This is Arthur...he's 31/2 years old. He's playing catch up...got him and started rehabbing him in March of this year. Probably two to three times the size he was then and with attitude! Love him so..:tort:[/color][/b]

These are mine, Tonka (the bigger one) and Chevy (the darker one) Tonka is right about 2 years old in the picture and Chevy is right under 2 years. They are amazing and completely night and day. One is very social and will let you pet his neck and the other will go inside its shell when touched. But I've had both of mine since they were 2 months old. :)

How humid do you keep their enclosure ? I would find it so hard to keep it humid enough on pellets lol

Honestly, I don't keep it very humid, I lived in Texas where humidity was always there and I would take them outside to exercise. but i don't do much humidity. I took them to a vet who told me he adds moisture to dirt in the hiding hole, since when you put them outside and they dig their burrows, that's where they find their moisture. But I now have them in dirt and not the pellets.
