The largest and mid size tortoise are eight months, the smallest is five, they all live together under the same exact conditions.

Wow, what a difference. Are the 8 mos olds from the same clutch? What are their weights?

Thanks for sharing!

I thought that was a picture of the ubangimistman that he's using as his new avatar. I couldn't see his legs and hands though, so maybe I'm mistaken.

Is anyone concerned about bullying? I have two CDTs and one is outpacing the other as far as growth is concerned. Several experiened members suggested bullying and I have seen bullying suggested in other threads for other torts as well but not here.
