So pretty!
Cerce photobomb!
She's always either moving or eating. Her personality is the posterchild of outgoing. Even when I pick her up, she'll stick her head out of the shell to enjoy the ride lol. Total opposite of Cerberus.

Offered watermelon chunk only bc Cerberus was craning his neck out to see it while I ate. He didn't actually eat any. It's rare to see Cerberus engaging like that so I wanted to see if I'd unlocked a new favorite treat. Kind of glad he didn't or I'd be tempted to feed it to him more often than I should.
Hard to catch clear pictures of Cerce. Her little motor is always going; investigating, exploring, or eating. Cerberus takes a good 10 minutes to get used to his environment before he will slowly, cautiously start looking around - or even poke his head out of his shell. Not as many interesting pictures of him. Cerce, on the other hand, hardly ever puts her head in her shell at all, even when I lift her up into her soaking bowl or as I carry her to the porch!

Cerberus may be shy but he sure is gorgeous!
Love having the two of them to compare personalities.
Cerberus normally goes to a shady area of the driveway for outdoor time, while Cerce's domain is the porch by my front door. Trying to keep separated and avoid allowing one to be in an area that the other occupied without cleaning up first. Hope neither turn out to be sick. So far, seem fine.
Once Cerberus acclimates to whatever environment he's in, he's fairly active. Just really, really cautious. Probably a good evolutionary trait lol.
Off topic: I refer to Cerberus as "Pale Boy" all the time lol. Just slipped out one day and stuck. Seems to fit him better somehow.
