Ben is the only person, other than my source, that is producing real, genuine, 100% verifiable Gpp.

Mao, if you find one cheap, I would be very suspicious.

FYI-Ben is not producing. He is selling **** Bartlet's.

My bad. You are right. I've been told that before.

Have you read many reptile books?

You can only get ****'s Leopards from Ben. I have two from Ben and I am very happy with them and Ben's service. Jeff's service sucked when I tried buying from him.

My two G.p.ps has been staying warm and growing! Outside it's a frozen wasteland; inside their enclosure it's warm and humid. They are part of Tom's experiment, but of course they just think this is their life and I'm just taking the best care of them that I can. Without further delay, here are the girls!

Molly (or as my student Mario calls her, "The Lovely Molly.")

Maggie, the shier of the two.

Oh, Edna: those babies are beautiful! I LOVE that they have so much of the lighter color on them. Mine are both very dark.

Thank you Yvonne. Does the light vs. dark color come from nature or nurture? Or do we know? It will be interesting to see how they all look when they're a year old.

Edna, they look absolutely perfect. Only a couple of mine look THAT perfect. The ones that I called the "littles" that hatched the day that I went to pick them up. They were only in the breeders dry routine for an hour or so and then I soaked them before I even drove home. I think yours were in that batch, along with two or three of my remaining ones. I think KLearned got the last of that bunch and that's why his is a little smaller too. Some of the other ones were with the breeder for a week or two before I picked them up.

The seams between the scutes on yours are smooth and flawless. When they get older you will be posting the first pics of perfectly smooth, non-wild-caught, leopards. I've seen good ones, but never perfect ones. Very exciting stuff.

That just can't be the same tortoise! He looks great! I think all of yours are looking better than mine. You guys must be caring for them better than me. Come on. Fess up. What's the secret?
