Thanks dean. He seems to have a little bit of sheen to his shell like the young little guys. Does that sound crazy? It seems like the babies are shiny and the old big ones are dull like maybe their glossiness gets worn off. Lol maybe thats not the case at all.
It has much more to do with environment than age. The glossiness gets worn off quick when they start burrowing. Ones raised in drier areas like here or Vegas also tend to look duller than ones raised in the south.
