681g today after soaking. Darwin is a bruiser and feels heavy when compared to my other tortoises. He eats pretty much anything I put in front of him, although he has favorites (mazuri, reptilink, papaya, pumpkin, pothos).

I think his shell growth looks good although one scute back by his butt seems to show a bit of pyramiding (is that even possible?).

Oh what a regal little guy!!!
I was inspired by your cute sign! Now Artemis is getting a cute "Tortoise Park" sign for revamped encloser.

I've been using a CHE (on a temp controlling power regulator) to bring his enclosure up to 90 - 95 at the warm end ... will that be a problem?

How pretty this Tort is. How old is he and how much does he weigh? His shell is stunning.. Have many good days with this fellow

His enclosure cycles between 81 and 87, with a hotter spot that he seeks out in the mornings.

Make an outline tracing on that graph paper of the tortoise, then you can compare each time you weigh and re-trace.
