We picked up this little gem from the Daytona show. It was pricey but well worth it. We got it to diversify our genes later (much later) down the line. Bought it for the full cap and color on the neck. Very interesting face markings as well. Has color on its eyelids. Well pleased that once it is in the sunlight there are very interesting developments...neatest shell that looks like it may be that different type of marbling. Funny the iPhone took better pics than the canon SLR-due to user error!

Even if the shell comes to nothing we are still happy to add this one to the mix!ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1441635923.409933.jpgImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1441635939.541360.jpgImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1441635954.425961.jpgImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1441635963.742569.jpgImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1441635979.430204.jpgImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1441635991.274680.jpgImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1441636003.608091.jpg

Very nice, congrats. Will be interesting to see what it grows into. Hope you keep us posted. And really, no straight on face shot?

Very nice, where did you find him I only noticed one vendor with cherry heads when you first walked in. I think it was the turtle and tortoise club?

They had three exceptional cherries with some high yellow Bolivians.
