We finally took the plunge and joined the club. Okay, I got a hold of Bill Z's caresheet, it gives the basics. Read all the posts in this forum and others about the radiated torts. I have a few questions for the Florida keepers, first, do you keep yours outside? If you do, do you bring them in at night? It is such a pricey investment, I would hate for a raccoon to get him. We keep our cherries outside without worry, from our yearlings to adults. The hatchlings stay inside as the birds can eat those. Are there any weeds that I have to worry about or will he self regulate and not eat the bad weeds like my cherries?
He (I use he for ease since I know, he is too small to accurately sex), has a split scute in the back bumper area. I got him from someone who bought him at the Daytona Show last year from John Heidecker. He is a little over 4" and slightly bumpy but not bad considering he was the first tort for the person who bought him. Let me know what you think.

He is still dirty, I didn't want to stress him out by scrubbing him down. All I did was spray him down with a little water for his photoshoot.
