Hi everybody
In other post emysemys ask me for explain my experience with my eye-less Trachemys scripta scripta. Here I´m!!
I bought this animal in 2000. She was just a hatchling with the little "diamond" in the nose and I saw that there were no eyes!!!. It was Sunday so I have to be there the day after and I only paid 6€ (less than $8).
(and they gave me food for the turtle for free..)
It´s true that I thought she wasn´t survive, but she did and now is a big animal (not the biggest I´ve got, but the second). When she was about one year old It was evident that she really has eyes, but too small, it was micro-ophtalmic (I´m not sure if it is correct in english)
Last year she laid alt least 8 small eggs. (I´m not sure because a male Malayan bos turtle ate some of them). I´ve recently obtained a young male of this species an perhaps next year eggs will be fertile.
Again, sorry for my english
Juan
