Normal growth?

Is Beast growing right? What are those lines?

The pic is a bit dark on my screen, but it all looks normal to me.

Wow he's gorgeous! I think the lines your referring to are growth lines. Do you mean between the scutes?

Yes between them. I thought so but as a overprotective turtle mother I needed to know! Thanks so much!

By the looks of the pic he's going to be gold and green. Unless my eyes are bad lol. I've never seen a turtle so pretty! What species is he? My guess is a musk turtle?

 

[AndreaRosie]

No he is a Red Ear. He is from my pond out back. By pond I mean my dad made a lake. He wandered in my pool.

Lucky you, he chose you to be his mommy. Beautiful.

Shows how much I know about turtles. He's beautiful nevertheless.

Haha don't worry! I once saw a baby box turtle and seriously thought it was a musk. I felt so stupid!
