Eventhough sizes will tell you, pictures will show you. Here's two pictures of the same guy 13 months apart. Crazy...

Wow, that's very impressive. Humid approach? Or do you have another secret to the absolutely perfect shell?

What are you feeding this giant? He looks fantastic! Tell us, was humidity a great factor in that smooth shell?

I didn't do anything differently with this guy than with the others. Eventhough I feed Mazuri daily 50/50 with weeds, I think that there is definately a genetic factor at play here. He's 3 1/2# heavier than the next largest. His size was the major factor in deciding to keep this guy as my male. I can only imagine how big he will be in a couple years. Huge adult animals were almost always huge babies and huge adolescents.
