The number one reason i like diamondback terrapins if for their color and patterns. Compared to other species they can change so much from when they hatch. You can honestly never guess what they will hatch out looking like or even what their colors will be as adults sometimes.

Here are three of my 2013 hatchlings at 6months old. Turtles growths are: DBT#One: 3.6 DBT#Two: 3.1 DBT#Three: 2.6

Im getting a strong vibe this is s male, at least its tail is starting to look likes its dropping. The northern is bigger but tail is smaller then this one. So really pushing for a male. The other one is giving me that vibe too. Sorry i need these more then anything if they are males. If they were females i was going to sell them. I have 12 females, and just 1 concentric male and he's just a juvi. So im hurting for good looking concentric males.
