Glad to see I'm not the only one that has a hard time figuring out this "shorthand" stuff
The babies look just as beautiful brown as they do black.
Don't remember ever seeing split scutes, have you ever had any hatch with them?

* Takes about ten days to change from light bown to almost black!

* We have actually had one several years back. It had a divided scute. That tortoise resides locally here in SW Florida and the actual divided line has not developed or grew!

* I have seen it for sale at the farmers market, it grows wild down here in Florida!

I like the black the best. It's just a beautiful carapace. Just perfection...

Very nice Mr. Greg .......as usual of course~.......Just in love with the giants ...definitely incredible animals to watch grow at such a rapid rate. Did I mention personalities too boot?
And heck the canyon and hills behind my house ....well you could " pick pads" all day long until your fingers fell off. They are very prevalent here with the Mexican culture and cuisine....the "spine-less" Hybrids are the way to go ....but for picking the natural stuff (which grow everywhere wild around here) I do get some hot tips from a 92 year old local ....on how to remove the spines.
Dig your posts ......
JD~
