Spanky Z and Sherman

[mobtech]

Zanzibar Peter Jennings III (Spanky Z the Sulcata) and The Sherman Tank (CDT). My side kicks and more or less friends to each other. haha

2011 Hanging out and shooting the breeze over a cactus pad.

Spring 2012 Playing tag.

Fall of 2012 Where is my Sherman? He must be catching up on episodes of Franklin the cartoon turtle.

Nice!. - a great illustration of growth rates and size difference between the two species.

You have very nice torts that have a friendship!

Neat.

Is the sulcata male or female? In the last pic, its gulars seem short. If it is female, does the CDT ever try to mate with it? If it is male, do the two ever fight?

 

[mobtech]

They are both males. I keep them in separate enclosures and allow them hang out from time to time. The CDT is a lot more aggressive and generally ends up being moved.

 

[Baoh]

Gotcha. Thanks.

Spanky is still waiting for Sherman to come out of Hibernation. Lounging around and swimming.

[Baoh]

Still getting along well? Any current photos of the two fellows together?

Thanks for sharing.

 

[mobtech]

They do not get along, well Sherman has always been a bully. The dynamic is different now though. Sherman has small man's anger. haha

David and Goliath.
