We have had Honey for 2 months now and he/she is making great progress. With almost 200 grams of growth in 2 months he/she is very active and loves to explore. We have great expectations for its future.

The video was taken with my phone so it's not the best quality.

Seems Honey has certainly found a great home. Looks very happy. Nice job!

Thanks, we might have to change the name in the future, as he/she has grown we can see signs that the plastron might become concaved, but time will tell...

I kinda like the name Honey, even if it's a male. Can't you imagine the neighbors over hearing conversations you might have with Honey and think "spouse"? :D

I have a kitten named Honey, and trust me, it causes identity issues with my husband, lol.

Glad to see your Honey is feeling better!

That is exactly what happens! ;) Or if I say "Honey!" in an exasperated tone, she runs away and he says "NOW what did I do?" LOL

Please continue to keep us updated on Honey's life. It will be interesting to see how the shell grows now that Honey is getting the proper care and sunshine.
