Checking the yearling out

[shellfreak]

Tried to put a yearling into the adult outdoor enclosure to make room for the new hatchlings. The adults seemed a little too aggressive. So it will have to wait a little longer to graduate from the hatchling corner...

Hey, what's this new pretty rock doing here

How old is that little guy? I usually wait until they are at least 3 years old. I have one that's three this year, and I'll be putting her in with the big kids in a few weeks.

Terry, it's almost 2 years old. So I guess I'll wait until next year. Thanks.

I put a couple of two year olds with the adults, but they were a bit bigger, and ignored. Lots of scutes on the little guy. +3

I put mine out after a year but in a smaller baby enclosure

 

[shellfreak]

Lots of scutes for sure. I call it scoli, short for scoliosis, Bc I'm in the spine business. It came from one of the females who also has an extra scute. I incubate all eggs at 84/85F. This one has been the only one with extra scutes. I kept her.

nice group, as long as your males aren't aggressive it should be fine.
