thanks Yvonne, yeah the SoCal sun drys it up so fast and it seems to help out a bit.

Here's a few more shots...

Haven't posted in ages but found my way back to the site. Here are few shots of Tico who is from Tom's 2010 batch of GPP's. He has been doing great and loving living outdoors all year long now.

Looks really good, like all the greenery.

WOW!!! What a big hoss!! He's a great looking tort.

I've been horrible keeping records lately and slacking on getting a new scale. I'm guessing he's between 1500-2000 grams and between 7.5-8 inches.[hr] Hahaha, I'm sure Tico would love to come and hang w/ the gang! I always told you Tom if something ever happens and he needs a new home you...

I can never really tell but I've always felt like Tico was a dude. He looked a lot the second tort at that age. I've never seen him flash either though.

She looks great. I think I will wait one more winter before I build Tico a permanent outdoor enclosure. Got to do some research before that happens.

Tico would poop every soaking as a baby but now he might every third soaking. He will also submerge his head and drink for quite awhile. Then he usually just sprawls out till I take him out.

Here's a few of Tico's Palstron and before his soak after a day in the SoCal sun. You can see he had a growth spurt over the last month, look at that new growth in the last pic! Thanks for looking.

Thanks everyone! He has really been a joy to watch grow and see his personality develop over the last 2 years.[hr] I don't have a working scale right now, but his SCL is at 7.5". He is definetly growing fast! [hr] Thanks Tom, yeah this one was built out of scrapes from another...

Been out in the middle of the ocean the last few months so haven't updated in awhile. Thought I would share a couple quick shots of Tico. He is two this month and doing great. Eats like a pig and is steady growing. I will do a more formal update w/ weight and SCL when I get a new scale...

Sorry been really busy, thanks everyone for the comments! His enclosure is coming along, I think we have it just the way we want it now.[hr] Last time I weighed him about 2 weeks ago we was at 900 grams and I'd say he is somewhere around 6 inches SCL.[hr] Thanks Joy, yeah it's been...

Took a couple shots of Tico after I soaked him today. He got to spend all day outside today. Thanks for looking...
