Now I know my eyesight is not what it use to be but, I can see that quite clearly. Wonderful pic Terry. I can even see the little serrations on its jaw. What a poster pic for Torts eating Hibiscus. Sweet. :)

I also think it's a beautiful picture. I don't see anything wrong with the focus...

Love it!! My favorite pictures of torts are the ones where they have their mouth open. Too cute!

My cat was laying on my lap earlier today and she yawned with a great big mouth, just like the picture of your little tortoise. It made me wonder...when all they do is take little bites off veggies (or cat food) why do they need mouths that open so wide?

What attractive coloring on your tortoise! He looks so happy to be eating his flower. My neighbor has a hibscus, I think I'll run over and ask her for a fading bloom...

So they can fit their own turds into their mouths! Just ask Stagger all about it.
I mean, really, have you really thought about the importance of them being able to open their mouths wide to fit their entire turds in it?
It's quite a job and a tortoise needs to be well prepared for turd chomping!!
:rolleyes::p

You asked for it Candy!

This above little guy hatched last spring ( '08 ).. is from my Alpha 'Guyana' female.. and shows how a juvenile can and should look when raised properly. This pic shows colors that are typical from her..
