Frank update

[krh11b23]

It's been 1 year since I found out frank was infested with parasites. At that time he was almost 2 years old and only 130 grams and 3.5 inches. Today he is 6 inches and 600 grams. He's doing great living outside grazing and getting lots of sunshine, he only comes inside to sleep.

I agree, looks great. I love the straight on face pic. Sometimes they look grumpy, like my leopard Tatum, sometimes they look like they are smiling.

Glad to see Frank doing so well. The new growth looks to be smooth.

I know it's too small but does anyone see male or female characteristics or is it not even possible at this size

It's been a while so here's an update on Frank. Although still small for 3 years old he is really growing now nearing 800 grams. Here is 3 picks spread out over the last 3 weeks.

All the new growth is coming in smooth now that he's in a humid closed chamber

The pyramiding is from the first year I had him and raised him dry as I was told wrong information

Cute tort. I had similar startings with my tort. My tort clarice is now 14 months. I haven't weighed her in a while but she is growing fast.
