I posted photos about the really red Allegra cherryhead and now it's time to spotlight "Carlos" a Carl May youngster.

Thanks!
I know he's too young to accurately sex but does he look like a male?

Very unique and beautiful head patterns! They've got perfect Halloween colors!

What is the red green and white stuff theyre eating?

 

[CharlieM]

Diced Strawberries and spineless prickly pear cactus with calcium powder added. It's messy but they love it.

From the plastron, it looks like Carlos may start marbeling on his/her carapace, keep an eye on that new growth.

 

[CharlieM]

Yes, I just noticed that its getting more pronounced. So cool! Thanks.

Carl's hatchling have a higher chance of marbling. I would not be surprised if Carlos starts soon.
