Time for a biannual Doris update! Here she is in June 2019 vs today. Definitely getting big! This is her first outside day of the year.
I think she’s big enough to sex now, I’ve just been operating under the assumption that she’s a she because I got her as a hatchling. Any comments? (Yes I...
I got Doris mid-October last year as a hatchling so I’m gonna say she’s about officially a year old now! Here are a couple of photos from the week I got her in comparison with one from today - same dish in all photos.
She’s grown super smoothly and I’m very happy with it! She’s been outside...
Doris has been living outside all summer and doing great, but I’m starting to think about when she needs to come back inside. Right now the typical weather reaches the low 90s in the day and drops to low 70s at night. What temp cutoff should I be looking for?
I moved Doris into her outdoor enclosure a week ago and she pretty much just hid for a couple of days and didn’t want to eat which I kind of expected. I seeded the enclosure with all sorts of tort friendly plants and bought her a nice big hibiscus to go ahead and have an established plant. Now...

See this thread. She developed little white spots all over her shell shortly after arrival that got wider and less distinct (like Anyfoot’s example) until the light parts of the scutes were their current color and new growth never had any. Still not sure what it was...
Finished her outdoor setup last night! It was very quick and easy to build using half thickness cinder blocks. I don’t have exact measurements but it’s roughly 12’x3’. The top is just an old puppy pen that I have unfolded. I put all her fake plants and orchid bark humid pile in it from her...
Hi all! I don't log on often but wanted to do an update on Doris! Got her as a hatchling at the end of October 2018 so she's ~7 months and 4 inches now (don't know her actual sex so I just call her "she"). She went outside for the first time today (with constant supervision since I don't have...
