Baxter hit 201 today , he is getting too big for his half log hide. I am going to find him something bigger.

He is also a great digger, he dug all of that fresh dirt you see at the entrance to his hide in 1 afternoon

Baxter is looking really good with smooth growth, he weighed 223 g on Sept 21,
I am moving him to a new enclosure soon for the winter, his current enclosure is 3x4x2, the new enclosure will be 3x8x2

Baxter is looking good, he is gaining weight steadily , he is 230g now, and I am happy with his shell, it’s looking pretty smooth?

Took Baxter outside for some sun and soak
It was 72 and sunny, the temp on the substrate was 86, Baxter’s shell was 102, that shows you how warm it is on the torts, air temperature was low 70s, torts were around 100, he had a shady area to get in but he liked the sunshine
