Gorgeous torts. I love the marbling on Freckles. That is Freckles right? Sorry still getting to know everyone and their tortoises.

Yeah, the top two tort pics are Freckles. :)


The next two pics are Beans.
The next two are them Watson.
The tail picture is them in the same order.

And thank you. I am hoping that Freckles really smooths out as much as possible. She had a little pyramiding when I received her.

She isn't as smooth as the others, but still looks fantastic. You are doing a great job.

You're right how different Freckles skin is compared to the others.
They are all so awesome. I like Beans :)

Ok, he said she is babcocki x babcocki, which is what I assumed her to be.
Her skin is just different? She is also shaped differently. Less domed. She is more petite than Beans and Watson as well. She is 2 months older but smaller than they are. Everything about her is smaller, her legs are thinner, for instance.

But I believe Beans and Watson are also babcocki x babcocki as well. I'm pretty sure that's what Greg T said. Maybe he can clarify or someone who also has some of his babies can clarify.

Freckled skin or no, I'm biased and think they're the coolest torts in Texas [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

Greg T told me he was not sure exactly what they were. They do have the color and certain spot patterns of GBP so there is possibly some of that in them. I have two from Kelly Hull that are 3 - 4 months older and one of those is quite a bit smaller than my two Greg T babies. They are catching up to the bigger one pretty fast as well. They eat like little pigglets!

(^^Had to quote you manually, the app is acting weird)

I am continually blown away with how much hatchlings eat. They are miniature vegetarian garbage disposals! Lol

Did you get any babies that had double scute spots? I noticed some of the last bunch had dual spots. Isn't that a GPP trait or does that run in GBP as well?

Is freckled skin like Freckles has typical of one over the other? I find this type of stuff incredibly fascinating.

Awesome! I'm trying to figure out if I could setup one, or two,... or four little b x b babies in the setup the sullies grew out of. All of them are adorable!
