Hi there to All you Shell-baby parents! I am still here, still busy with my human, fur and shelled family. Shellie and Tucker have already turned 4 yrs old and they are big heavy monsters! I still bring them inside every night because their outdoor house still needs a proper door and insulation needs to be installed, all the electricals wired in, but their garden has grown into a bush making them really happy. They love to hide under the plants. For those of you who have read my threads and know how cute and colorful Tucker was (marbling) he is no more. he still grows some white but that quickly gets covered with dark color so one has to look closely and under good light to see all that white that there is- WAS. He was also always smaller than Shellie, well, no so much any more! He is an eating machine and almost matching Shellie’s size and weight (both almost 10lbs and around 11” SCL) I don’t bathe them daily anymore, only about 2-3x wk and every time I have a reason to think that they need extra warmth and hydration (they got stressed with something, didn’t eat too well that day, etc) Maxi (my cat) still watches over them while in their bath tub. Shellie is almost certainly a girl. Tucker??? I am not sure quite yet. Any quesses? agh!!!! Need better picture! All feedback is welcome! Hope all Forum Friends- old and new and their torts are doing well[emoji217][emoji173]️[emoji217]
