Missus got her tank! :)

Great Job! I see he is growing too.

I'll pass that along, TY

Yes, he's even growing too fast. She had an exchange w/ the breeder, and is cutting him down to every-other-day feedings.

Finally we get to see his sweet little face! How stinkin‘ cute!

 

[Klyde O'Scope]

Come to think of it, these pics (and a few more less... interesting) are the first time I've been able to see his face!

 

[Lindasjackson]

He’s a beautiful tortoise!

 

[Klyde O'Scope]

And little!

 

[Klyde O'Scope]

Think somebody's been at the cuttlebone...?

I missed this thread before. I need more pics of Ol Mitch in my life

JMHO--That is fast for a baby.. Congrats!

We found that out. See exchange #61 & #62 above.
Missus has cut way down on the Mazuri.
Breeder did say that Mitch looks very healthy.

Thanks, I'll pass it along.

He is cool!

 

[Lindasjackson]

He’s growing! Handsome boy!

 

[Klyde O'Scope]

Thanks. I'd say he's a handful, but he's still too little even for Missus' little hands!

White spots are just little schmutzes of calcium dust.

 

[Klyde O'Scope]

Still trying to get a decent (i.e. in-focus) close-up of his little face parts. He's quite (understandably) camera-shy.

 

[Klyde O'Scope]

Got this one, but I think I can do better. The camera doesn't show what the book says it should, so I may not be doing something correctly(?) Maybe I need to break out the tripod.

 

[Lindasjackson]

He’s adorable! Pretty colors to!

He’s adorable! Pretty colors to!

Thanks. There are some absolutely gorgeous species of tortoises and turtles, and while I would have supported any of them (smaller than a Sulcata—gotta be realistic at our age), all will grow to be larger than this little guy, who should top out at 4-5" long.

He’s the perfect size then!

 

[Klyde O'Scope]

Yup. That's why she picked him!
