Okay, now becuase of that last pic, I have another measuring for ya. If you can, would you measure the size of one of the males scutes. They look larger then the largest square tile I have seen.:D

Wow, that's big. Thanks. It's always hard to know exactly how big things are in pics. Never know if zoomed in, out, etc. But those giants are pretty much what I expect, except bigger.:D Thanks again.:)

what is the tube attached to Tuff?

* Not Tuff, that is one of our five year olds (Hopie) that has had some medical issues.

* The tube was surgically implanted for medication and feeding delivery.

Assumed Tuff as the water bowl looks the same as Tuffs. Also, the size of tort in that pic is deceiving, reason the measurements puts things into better perspective. I hope she is doing okay and nothing too serious.

* Thank you, actually this has been a long and very trying case. I will make a thread on this entire event when he is out of the woods. He is improving and we are optimistic about a full recovery.

* True, this was him last year prior to his issue. He was almost thirty pounds and four years old in this picture.
