The color is crazy!!

I really need to buy some rads from you, haha.

Thanks, your picture is good example of what my problem is. As the animal grow, some thick yellow band split into two or even fade. However, why thicker the banding the less likely the pattern will split/fade? Is there any way to intervene the process?

ok. some claim that slower growth rate can improve it...

not split scute, just the patterns. One thick yellow bands split into two narrower bands

Just wonder is there any way to prevent patterns (the yellow lines) on rad's shell from splitting? or is it determined by genetic solely? I found rad with more yellow pattern tend to have splitting patterns as they grow. Thanks

what do you feed them? what is that yellow/red food?

I think it is normal. My rads also do this sometimes, especially when they walk a lot.

congrats. I wonder if there's any trait difference between F1, F2 and F3

Thanks, I will monitor the lower jaw for another few days, if it gets worse I will go to a vet.

Please see the new photos. So hard to take pictures for it...

That's also what I first thought. But the jaw is different from what my other tortoises look like. I will take more photos.

Please help identify what is the blackened skin around its mouth. Is it rotted skin? How to treat it? Currently eating well 5 times a week, humidity 50-70, temperature 80-90, soak everyday. Thanks

Thank you. Currently I have temperature between 81-73, humidity 70-85. They are very active in the morning and then go to sleep most of afternoon. I soak them everyday and provide food. They all interested in food but don't eat a lot. I also have a mister misting the enclosure before light goes...

I see. I maintain the humidity between 70-80 and temperature around 75-80. Not sure if they will notice the season change. Do you have a care sheet? I am interested to see how you maintain your spider tortoises. Thanks in advance

thanks very much for your data. It seems like the first year they don't gain much weight. That's very interesting!

OK, so should I let them hibernate?

I currently have three Paa, and wonder if should let them aestivate during the winter. Currently they are 31g, 23g and 21g and the environment is Temp 75-85 Humid 70%-80%. They are actively feeding but grow very slow. They are so tiny, I am little scared to let them aestivate. How is everybody...

Thanks for your reply!

Thanks for your reply. I have two more pics upload above, please take a look too. Thanks again
