    My First Radiated :)

    Quick shot of some of them soaking :) warm sun means bigger appetites. Going to be a lot of growth for these this year! Temps are almost there for them to be outside during the day on a regular basis.

    My First Radiated :)

    Thank you :) I bought them from the best possible people and it makes it easy to transition them. Some I had when they were just 1 month old some over a year.
