Luka (yes, that's his name now...) is now 9 days with me. I took lots of pictures during these 9 days, some of them I want to share. 
On day 7 he was so active. I let him walk in my room for a bit, put some snacks here and there, and he just ran around and explored. I took so many videos. I also want to share the videos. So who is interested, is welcome to watch.
I know I love pictures and videos of other members and I look through every thread in the Picture section. So, I'm sorry, but this post here is going to be pic (and video) heavy.
In Superman Pose
His food. Is it ok? I also get him (malaysian) grass and some timothy hay (sprinkled over his food).
MUNCH!!!!
Chillaxing in the Pool
Is it weird that I got excited when I saw Luka's first Urate?
Exploring (Can you see the pen mark on his shell? How can I remove it? The guy that sold me the tort said I should use pure alcohol to scrub it off. I really don't dare to. Any suggestions how to get it off?)
Let's play the guessing game: Boy or Girl? (I know It's way too early to know, I just want to know your guess. Doesn't matter if it's just intuition or experience or statistics. I just want a guess.)
This is my setup now. There's an "under the substrate" hide in the upper left corner. The cardboard box on the right is what I got him/her in. He seems to prefer it as a hiding place, so I left it in there.
10 Points if you can find him in this picture.
And... Tadaa! There he is! The hay is his 2nd favourite hiding place now. When I check on him, I often look in both hides before I see, that he's actually hiding in the hay. Now I know why stars have that nice pattern. Hides them perfectly.
That was the last picture.
But here are some videos, for those who are interested:
