I didn't post pics on my intro below so I figured I would post them now (just got the iPhone app!)





I have a really cute 30sec clip of her chowing down. Are we able to add video?

Aww... Pearl is a gem!

I upload my tort videos to Youtube and then paste the link. If there's a slicker way to do it on the app, I haven't figured it out.

Yep! Those pics are actually from her first time eating dandelion! it's her second favorite so far - right behind mustard greens

Oh and as for her shell - she has a very pretty shell naturally (credit to her breeder, Jay, from Turtles And Tortoises!) but I keep the humidity around 60-70% or so by keeping her Eco Earth moist and turning it as it dries, and I mist her shell directly once or twice a day with water from a tiny spray bottle that I got in the "travel size" section at Target. It comes out "misty-er" than a regular trigger-style spray bottle which seems to come out more in a stream (or at least the one I have does).

I've been reading up on Tom's "End of Pyramiding" thread, and I'm glad I found it since the Tortoise book I got claims you should keep them dry...something about that just doesn't feel right to me (even though I am a beginner).
