Wow, they are beautiful!!
I just can't get over how light yours are remaining. My Humphrey looked exactly like that but has gotten so much blacker again. They are remarkable. Isn't this weather just the bomb. It is amazing how active they get when they are outside in the warm sun, almost running around. Mine are just lovin' the sunshine!!!

I keep telling Cathie they are Solar Powered because when they get in the Sun, they never seem to stop moving.... till they get to the shade, then it's nap time!
So beautiful and smooth as usual, Zamric. Thank you for the nice update.
May I know how long they get to be outsider per day now? Since I remember you keep them in the closed chamber.

I do keep them in a closed chamber but when the Sun is up and the temp is right.... they get as much outside time as possable! However, nights are a VERY differant story....for now, they sleep inside, in thier nice little Twin Condo!

Thanks!
They spend most of thier time in a Closed Enclosure, under High Heat (83*+)/ High Humidity(60%-85%) conditions

Eros has a bit of darker shades that seem to be "Rising up" but Gaia is much lighter than I expected her to be, and that shows no sign at all of changing!

Yes you certainly have a luxury condo for your torts

...sigh.... saddly, I noticed last night that my "Subfloor" is rotting out and its just a matter of time before it collapses completly! Should have used a better sealant or at least a couple of more layers of it!(or even a layer of heavy plastic.... I got LOTS of that!)
jesst said:They look amazing! ! Great job with them.
Thanks! I try hard!
Ahh, I enjoy looking at your pics, your torts are so healthy!
Zamric, I'm curious, when they're out due to weather permission, how many times do you soak them per day?
Since outside they will get exposed to much lower humidity compares to their chamber.

I don't soak them any more....or less.
They have very large water dishes outside (large terra cotta dishes) If they feel the need to soak, they soak themselfs (I often will catch them just sitting in their water dish doing this)Besides, That is one of the reasons I use Vita-Shell! Kinda the best of both Worlds!
So what are their size now? My 2 leopards I keep them outdoor all time, and they are only around 2.8 inch SCL. They hardly soak themselves, only sometime they will walk pass their terracotta dish.
This morning Eros weighed in at 178.9 gms and is 9.5cm long at 15 months old, and Gaia is 148.6 gm and 8.3cm Long at 21 month old
Gaia is similar to mines. Okay thank you Zamric for answering.
