I haven't been on here in a couple of years but just wanted to stop by and share this and say Chets still living his best life!! Got alot of great information here when I first started so figured I'd give a little update.

Not sure how he got out but my wife found the dogs playing with him. I've had him roughly 6 years and never had a thing like this happen before. I see a few scratches on his shell but I don't see any puncture marks or anything like that. I washed him off and put him back in the tank and hes...

Haven't been on here in a long time. It's time for a new enclosure for Chet. At the moment his is in a big enclosure I built in my living room lol. I have a three season porch out my front door and I'm going to turn that into the new enclosure I'm about to build. Question is one side is 9ft x...

I don't get on here much but I got around to getting out the scale today. Chet weighed in at 6.2lbs and is now 2 years old. Things are hectic with all the animals around the house and another puppy coming home this weekend but Chet still gets plenty of love and attention. Some slight pyramiding...

I have had Chet for about 14 months or so. At what age can you def tell the sex?

Thanks guys! So is it to early to tell the sex? The name is staying the same regardless lol

So it's been awhile since I've been on here so I figured I'd take a few pics of Chet and share. Everything is going well with Chet and just keeps on growing.Hope everyone is having a happy holidays.

Sorry for the confusion my pup is 5 1/2 months old and my tort Chet is about 10-11 months old.

Yeah Chet's growth is smooth for the most part. It is tough keeping his enclosure humid considering his enclosure is 6ftx3ft. He's growing like a weed it hasn't even been a year yet and hes well over a lb.

Sorry I haven't been on in a couple of months. Life is wicked busy between buying a new house and getting a new puppy I've been extremely busy. Anyways Chet is doing great. He's turning into a mini tank and is getting bigger everyday. I have a pic from the other day I took I'll try to get some...

Just wanted to check in. Chester is getting so big and I took a comparison shot to compare. Since aug he weighed in at 40g today he weighed in at 460g. He's loving his new enclosure and doesn't stop eating. [hr] Sorry it doesn't let me post 2 pics in 1 post here's the other

So here are some pics of the final product. Still a work in progress but for the time being I'm done lol. Humidity and temps are doing good. Not dialed in yet but this is directly set up across from my wood stove so it will stay warm.Sorry it won't let me post more than 1 pic [hr] Another pic...

So here's a little update I finally finished last night. The hardest part was actually trying to find 3 bags of topsoil in the middle of winter. Every store I went to every bag was frozen stuck to each other. Any ways today I will put Chet in his new home when I get out of work and I can get...
