Bragging AGAIN...

[Redfoot NERD]

... about this camera!!!

AND for those that might want to see a few young adult Kinixys erosa.. AKA "Forest Hinge-backs".

K. erosa are kept in DARK enclosures. Mine are anyway and they're doing great!

The sides of their enclosure are about 12" tall. The "ambient" light is the only light in there. By ambient I mean the light from within the building which is basically from individual lights over 2 other tables.. and those are only 2' strip-lights. ALL of the lighting in the building is BELOW their walls.

This pic was taken from the end of their 15' table - the closest were 6' away.. the furthest over 10' away.

I had "zoomed" past their water-dish on the pic above.

They were starting to eat their mushrooms when I moved closer and took this pic of a female [ closest ] and male. His head is a very light/bright yellow. [ I'll try to get a male pic tonight ]

I was able to get a couple good shots of this "Butternut" female.. that's what I call her anyway -

See how bright-eyed!?

She is the smallest at 7" SCL...

I don't keep that species, but I sure like what I see in those pictures. Your camera takes great pictures. Thanks for sharing them...

And.... a couple of the "boys" -

What about that yellow head!?

This one [ above and below ] also has the broad "marbling" on his carapace -

Look close and you'll see a tint of 'pink' on this other ones throat -

"Spur-thighed" too -

I'll have to add a few of these pics to their page.

Sweet!

Not just "bright"-eyed, but positively glowing eyes in that first pic. Like chelonian vampires. Almost spooky.

That yellow coloring is very handsome, and as usual, their shells are beautifully colored and perfectly shaped...

They are all beautiful, but those males are exceptional. I LOVE that yellow marbling.

They are a wonderful group. Glad they are doing so well for you.
