Well, Levi turned 3 this month!!

I can't believe it....seems like only yesterday he was an itty bitty, spotted pebble cupped in the palm of my hand. Now he's a big, heavy rock that usually requires 2 hands to carry! I love this guy...boy do I!
I got him from @Torts"R"Us as a 4 week old and raised him in a hot and humid chamber. By the time he turned 1, he lived outside all day in a heavily planted enclosure and slept in the closed chamber. A year ago (year ish?) he graduated to full time, outdoor living. He's got the yard to himself and a tort house heated by an oil filled radiator on thermostat for 80°F... Yes, he has a good life ;)

He measures at 10" and weighed in a little over 5 lbs. His weight has fluctuated a bit since the move but I'm not worried. Although I did expect him to weigh more.

I tried to celebrate with a Mazuri cake....didn't work out too well!
