Hi,

I thought I would share pics of a juvenile WC Impressa I acquired this week. I soaked him first and he was agitated from captivity and his journey. Then I left him alone to calm down and get acclimatised. He seems very healthy with the exception of two holes on his outer carapace which were probably caused by the hunters securing him with wire (poor little guy).

I got him to eat mushrooms after two days in my possession and too my surprise, he was confident enough to hand feed.

My niece called him Godwin, although he might yet be an Edwina.
Enjoy.

Yes...he's very cute! I don't see anything wrong with keeping Godwin as the name no matter what sex he is. You're very lucky to get him to eat right off the bat. Most wild caught Impressa are very hard to acclimate to captivity.
