Brand new pics of Darwin

[TortyTom]

Here are a few new pics of Darwin I took tonight. He was having fun crawling over my foot like a tank and then he had to go see mom. She says out of two Boxers a cat and a bird, Darwin is her favorite! lol Not sure she will feel that way once he/she is full grown. Hahaha!

Thanks! BUT The real question is what am I not feeding him? lol Too much to list but it's everything that a sulcata can eat. He also gets his Mazuri every day!

At first, I thought the shoe images were "mom". I thought, mom sure is earthy. Nothing against females who don't shave their legs, but I thought mom had some hairy legs! Ha! Your tortoise, being only 10 inches and 20 months, sure looks larger. The scutes are more spread out than mine. I know it's 2 inches but that looks a lot larger than mine. Also, yours is super clean. Mine is a mess. Here's Dexter.

Haha! No those are my legs! lol Yup only 10 inches! Probably just the angle of the pic? He is clean cause he just got out of the bath. I still soak him at least twice a week! Your Dexter looks pretty awesome too! Give him 2 more months and he will be that big too! Here is Darwin's last growth chart.
