He's AWESOME! I see you're a fellow Floridian! If you need tort sitting let me know! Lol ; ) I MIGHT even give him back....

Thanks, I'm obsessed and want more, but need to figure out more space. Adding a misting system to his current enclosure so I can put it on a timer for a daily rain for him.

I just got a couple misting hoses off Amazon that I'm going to put up in the trees outside in there new enclosure (I'm using a timer too) great minds think alike!....that's last thing to do....well, they need a better water hole...

My 2 6.5 yr olds .. 17& 19 inches long
Haven't measured mine in a while. I should do that sometime. How much do yours weigh? It'll give us something to look forward to... Are they male or female? For some reason I think you're going to say yes for some reason I think you're going to say yes

Actually the breeder said the were incubated to be male/ female but as they have gotten older not sure if I have 2 males or e females . My redfoots as easy to sex because of the concave plastron on the males .Haven't noticed this on my Burmese yet?
They are at 17 & 21 lbs Hatch date was 09/2011.Purchased them 10/2012.They are so social.
Gonna get updated photos of plastron & post so perhaps someone with more knowledge can help me sex them.

@Yvonne G may be able to if they're old/big enough. You may want to start your own thread though. Unless the owner of this one doesn't mind...lol
