Meet Queen Elizabeth'.......along with her Mate Oscar'-
Through the years I've been collecting Redfoots and Cherries these two are by far the largest one's I've seen. 100% Brazilian and both close to 14" ....Sorta throws a curveball in the "Cherry Theories about being Dwarf's" which is a common read in some books.

Here she is along side some 6" Cherryhead specimens’ for sizing.....

Nice looking torts JD. The light one almost looks like a leopard at first glance. Also like your petroglyph drawings, nice touch!!

I never get tired of seeing your beauties JD. Your some sort of master at taking pictures, especially when they're all lined up. Mine will never stay still like that!!

I really like the rock. :D

So you guys like the rock? …as Joy pointed out they are called petroglyph’s other wise known as cave paintings. I make these reproductions by studying “real” drawings …then replicating them on flagstone. I use a dremel and acid to etch in the design, and then a “secret coating” is applied, wet down and allowed a couple of weeks to “ age” the stone. I have several of these around the yard and house ( will try and take some shots of others).
My Father was the one who started this and taught me how to do this . I was very lucky as child to have a mad scientist as a Father…..:p
To this day I feel very blessed to call him Dad and also my best friend.
