Little update, took the kids outside on this warm fall day to snap some shots, had to bring my fiance out as well to be a wrangler, these two love to MOVE. And a few lil collages of their growth, these pics are 8wks apart exactly.

Did you reduce the photo-period or temp range? Or did they do that all on their own with normal temps and the same amount of light?

I have two young pancakes, both just shy of 12wks old or so. Mine are very active, and they've gotten a lot less shy of me in the few weeks that I've had them. All I've done is made sure I talk near the enclosure, especially when I put down food. So that they aren't afraid of my voice, and they...

I spray the enclosure once per day as per the advice of Tim and Robin :) I also keep 70 or so New Caledonian Geckos in my reptile room all of whom need humidity, and the current ambient humidity in the room averages around 70%. I do also spray their little caves extra, the ones they usually...

These two beauties arrived today. They were hatched by fellow forum members Tim/Robin. These are my first babies in the house since about 2008, and its mesmerizing! The kiddo with the thicker cream pattern is a real go-getter, not shy at all. Her sister is a little more reserved, but it is only...

I raised Greek tortoises a few years ago, and I'm looking to get back into the hobby with something a little more advanced/obscure. I'm willing to consider any hatchlings as long as there is zero pyramiding present as it is my goal to raise a completely smooth CB individual of any of these...

The growth on these kids is absolutely beautiful! Congrats on smooth shells!

I've got a teeny flapjack on the way. She's not even a month old yet ;)

I'm excited to see new pics Terry! The parents are gorgeous, but not lacking in color at all ;) Maybe they both carry a recessive gene for blackcherries :D Is this the first dark baby from them? Or, that female?

More pics ;) What a wonderful surprise you had there Terry---its a very beautiful tortoise, definitely a unique cherry! Looks much blacker than the previous dark kids--

PM Tim and Robin ;) They gave me some great info.

Yeah they mimic the mating behavior and yes, a 217g tortoise is not sexually mature. I would weigh them, and measure tomorrow, and see what kind of a gap you have between them, and if it seems large enough, I would even consider separating them, as living together will do harm to the smaller one.

They look small to actually be breeding---whats the SCL and gram weight of both? You could very well still have two girls, and one is just stating her dominance. If that's the case, I would add a bunch of plants/visual barriers to the enclosure so the smaller tort can get away from her when she...

Do you have more pics of the last one? Also, if you hold them up, you get better plastron pics, with a better angle, like this, these are my girls: Female Female

Based on pics alone, I'd say Female, Female, Male. But I'd like to know SCL and gram weight before I cast my vote for sure ;) They look Antakyan to me, or even Antakyan x Golden crosses. I brought up pics of my Antakyan Cross girl's parents to compare and they all look very similar to her dam...
