Here's the regimen until her tail gets better: soak in warm water (drink and to get all the dirt off), dab neosporin, put in separate container with wet paper towels, feed in that container (so she won't try to get out), then put her back in her enclosure. Here's some new pics...she sure has grow (9 grams in October 2011, today 28 grams.

Her color is a little off in these pics (using iPhone), enjoy!

A little more now than before, she used to hide all the time. I think she's just getting a little more fearless. You just got yours not too long ago right? I got mine for my bday (Oct 2011), so I had her for a bit longer. In a couple of months, you'll see yours more too =)

There is noting cuter than a baby Box Turtle. One of mine was also born in September and I got her for a birthday present in October too. I haven't weighed her, but she is still very tiny.

Is it the really dark one that's a little aggressive eater?

Thanks guys, she's the cutest!
