It's been about 6 months since an update on my bonnie! Those who have followed know her story and the long hard struggle since she has austwickia chelonae (yellow bumps) She's now going to be 3 years old in August and has been clear of bumps for over 2 years. Until about a month ago I was...

I do agree, check out my lower reply to another comment. In that regard, since Clyde is thriving and growing completely normally..I would DEFINITELY be curious as to whether his blood could.. 🤔🤔

Thank you so much for caring!! And yes definitely sooner next time! And actually, the other baby, Clyde, that I got with Bonnie has also been bump free to date and is absolutely thriving. He lives outside now and has gotten huge!! Haven't measured him, but I would guess about a 7-8 inch shell❤️❤️❤️

Quick update because it's been so long! Not much time.. but Bonnie is still doing amazing! To say our road has been bumpy would be the under statement of the century..but still she's here and loving life. To those of you who don't know her story, and/or dealing with austwickia, please go back...

This is my Bonnie <3. Yes, her bottom beak fell off one day. She has austwickia since I got her, as well as my Clyde who came with her. Look back at my others posts for a little background. They are now about 13ish months old and doing really well.bonnie had it the worst. Her bottom beak fell...

Ohhh I was. My big ~18 year old sulcata has never shown his manhood before until a few days ago. I bout had a damn heart attack? makes me wonder if that little ugly thing might be a female and been hiding out in my tort pen for a few days now. ?
