Pebble, my "great grand tortoise" - CB2.

[biochemnerd808]

Pebble is getting so big. She is the granddaughter of my first tortoise. She turns 1 in June and is just shy of 200g.



Her coloring is really interesting, she was a very 'plain' baby with no speckling when she hatched, but is turning out to be quite the beauty!

She lives outside now full time (not during winter). She is not normally this clean...

She is pretty.

Very pretty! So easy to distinguish wild caught from captive raised.

Well, after a few years of living outside, two of my CB females have more wear and tear on their shells and look more rugged. (Stupid cinder block one of them insisted on digging under!)

But yeah, whenever folks question how I know their tort is wild caught, I just post a pic of a yearling CB tort, and the answer is generally along the lines of, "Oh."
