Monstro emerged a little earlier than usual...so we hung for a bit...an hour to be precise! After catching a shot of him on the lawn, he moved to his favorite shady spot! I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story...

My wife was just taking a peek and said he has GODZILLA eyes in the first shot (1998 version, I presume)!

How big/old is Monstro now? You always manage to capture the best-est open mouth shots.

Monstro will be 5 years old in September! He's around 21" and close to 50 lbs...both are guesses as I've been busy placing the Sudans, rehabbing a GIANT cage (4x4x8...thanks again Tom) and, of course, spoiling the ITs. Maybe something more in depth on his birthday!

Now...with the Sudans placed...I do get to spend (a lot) more time with Monstro! So, I think this is going to be a regular thread, too! As I mentioned in the IT thread...someone else got to enjoy some endive, escarole and radicchio! I'll let the pictures tell the story...

What a bunch nice shots. This is a such beautiful animal. Just beautiful.

May I have your permission to share those photos to one of the Tortoise forum in China? They got some crazy tortoises lover over there, Will love to see this beauty. I will for sure to mention the origin of those photo are from you. Once I posted, I will share that link to you. but mostly will be in Chinese.

Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks.
