I've been out of commission for a few months with a medical emergency (reason for my absence, but glad to be back and still alive) but thankfully I had someone to look over these too. Both are doing great, getting huge, and we may try for some babies next summer. Still don't live together they have their own enclosures but they get supervised time together. Marge will be 4 in 2 weeks, not sure if she's ready yet but will see.

Really hoping I can pass on Murphy's trait of bright blue eyes to some offspring. We will see.

Welcome back! They look awesome!
Thanks Tammy, happy to be alive actually. And had a plan in place for the torts in case if emergency. Everybody is good and fine except for 2 who are unaccounted for. I think my mom filled the pond too high and they escaped. I feel terrible but at least I didn't find them dead and maybe they made it to another body of water who knows, everyone else is ok.
