Wow that is quite the transformation in year! I am keeping monthly progress on mine to see how he/she grows! Also, the shell is beautiful! Would you share your enclosure as it is clearly working?!

Sure, For the first year I used a smaller tub but now I've got a converted 75 gallon tank. I built a top out of wood and liquid nailed foam board to the bottom to protect it from moisture. There's radiant heat panels and Led lights attached underneath the top. Everything on Thermostat and timers. I keep it at 84-86FIMG_20200417_193349573.jpgIMG_20200417_193405924.jpgIMG_20200417_193436506.jpgIMG_20200417_193449137.jpgIMG_20200417_193504648.jpg

@Toddrickfl1 are you any closer in knowing if Marge is definitely female yet? I know I asked you a while ago on another thread but can't find it now!

Not yet, she'll be 2 years at the end of next month. She's about the same size Murphy was when he started looking male though. If she still looks female by the end of next year I'll be confident she is.
