Life has been too busy to post much, but I thought you would enjoy seeing this.
Here is one of my "giant" baby RTs, hatched at 24g in September. At just over 6 months, she weighs 164g, and is rock solid.
Her Momma is exceptionally big at 9" and 1800g, and this was the pretiest baby from 1 of 3 equally-sized big eggs.
I decided to hang onto this beauty (her clutch mates already have wonderful new homes), to see how big she gets (and how quickly), in comparison to the other hatches that are from more normal sized females I have. Her name is Pickles, because she gets into a lot of mischief.
Then, because of the extra cute factor, here is our daughter "helping" watch Pickles. I had just hosed down all the tortoises, and she joined in the fun.
She is being very good about looking, but not touching. Our daughter "helps" feed the tortoises by throwing handfuls of grass and dandelion flowers into the tortoise yard. (I'm always with her, and only tortoise safe plants grow in that part... so... no danger of her throwing in harmful plants).
Anyway... hopefully this made you smile! (Since so many of my previous posts tell you what to do or not to do... I figured it was time for a good old normal non-bossy just for fun post).
