Is the shy one still shy? That is the best shot of the shy tort that I gave ever seen.

She's getting better. I still have to occasionally drag her out to eat if I'm offering anything the others will devour before she arrives. Their hide is 4x8 (basically a full sheet of plywood) which she loves. They don't come out very much this time of year with the heat. Mostly she keeps to herself. She has a deep red color but not tons of red. I also have the salmon colored one back. Not sure for how long. Their dogs got to him and they are deciding if they can keep him safe. I say "him" but I'm not sure. If they choose not to keep him I'll offer him to a forum member. He's pretty.

This one was from @allegraf and given to a student of mine last year and unfortunately her dogs chewed him.
No internal damage.
Now back with me temporarily.
Great salmon color and great marbling.

Let the shell heal, looks like it is mostly cosmetic, unless there is more damage not seen in the pics. How big is the salmon one? Curious to know how your student kept it and the growth from the beginning to now. Dogs and torts rarely mix well. My old killer JRT, can't be bothered by the torts anymore.

The shy one was always red, from what ltitle you could see. Always, from out of the egg, so shy! Glad she is doing better.

I agree. No internal damage. He/she is smaller than the ones I've been raising. It's been over a year and the growth is pretty smooth but not much change in size. The brown one has grown the most followed by the really red one. I'll measure them all tomorrow.

This is my Carl May @cdmay cherryhead. I call her "Flo" because of her father "Moe"
She's from the same clutch as his triplets. She used to have much more marbling and was the least cooperative today. Her sister "Carly" after Carl... (lol) now lives with @Bryan in Hawaii.

This is the "shy one" who was less shy today due to the Mazuri I bribed then with...
she's consistently shown some nice marbling and her new growth is very smooth.

This is everybody's favorite. The red one. Wasn't very patient today.

This is the one that was chewed on. He's very salmon and has great even color with lots on his neck.
He's still in my car after the dog incident and I'm not sure if he will need a new home. He's very outgoing and confident.

Beautiful! Love the pics. Might have to get me some cherryheads. :) Love the red ones. They look like their faces have been burnt off. Very strange, but beautiful.

Who is her mother? I know you told me but I cannot remember.

I don’t get on the forum much but after taking these photos this morning I thought I’d swing by and post them.
Will try to get a nice recent shot of Martha later. She slept in...
