This forum needs more pics of wicked little tromping dinosaurs.
Post 'em if you got 'em!

This is Woodrow doing his extreme napping thing. Sleeps like I do, limp limbs scattered everywhere.

Here's his belly shot.

Palm shot.

His seemingly first time in a soaking dish hour one of taking him home a couple months ago.

His first meal at home about 5 seconds after he smelled the food.

And here are some from today. He's had this new enclosure since Sunday last week (April 5, 2009). I've been battling with temperature and humidity issues like all us newbies seem to.
Regardless, relentless research and cup after cup of coffee has awarded me the knowledge and confidence to turn this into a righteous little "No Shells No Service Club".
So, in way less words: It still needs alot of work in the way of simplicity and amenities. But with time, and some of the tried and true cash, I think this will make a fine home for a year or two. (Sure beats the crap outta the 20 gallon he had to deal with at first. Plans for the 'Uberarrium' fell through with the convenience of a sale on aquariums only 200km away! (124ish miles for you's guys south of our awesome shared border).

Ahh, thanks for moving the thread whoever. Guess I should explore the other forums. Tortoise tunnel vision.

The pictures are great! Noah and I especially liked the one of him soaking and eating. The tongue shot was awesome. He's adorable thanks for posting them. Candy

He turned around when Entertainment Tonight came on, not his favorite show :)

That is a really cute pic. Does he have a little remote control too?

He does but he doesn't know how to use it, takes after me I guess, I have three and can't figure them out.

I have to agree with him on Entertainment Tonight. Tell him to turn on Jeopardy he should love that. :D Candy

He’s not as good at jeopardy as I am. He would rather watch the Big Bang Theory. :rolleyes: :p

Here's my shell baby!

He's been inquisitive lately, and ravenous. I bet he's growing again.

Any opinion on the dry look to his shell? Is this just from the new growth? I wouldn't suspect dehydration but who knows...

Is his growth looking pretty even?

I also just noticed that Charlie also has the worn down scales on his arms like Trevor. Guess it's a Russian thing!

My Nikon does take pretty good pictures but I always adjust them a bit in Photo Shop.

Cute Torts! :)

I've got some pictures of my redfoot here, but here's some more. I purchased lil Mater from Vicki at tortosieyard.com and the baby arrived yesterday. He's full of red and he does have extra scutes. My pride and joy! :)
