Zenna hatched on 1/2/12 and we have had her since 3/6/12. She has grown so much in just 5 short months.

This is Zenna before we got her, these pics were taken on 1/25/12 she weighed 26g and was 2" long.

She looks fantastic! Whatever you are doing is working wonders for her. I think the growth rate is great, as long as she gets plenty of sun, calcium, hydration and a good diet, which, from the looks of it, she certainly is.

Thanks for all the reply's. I must say if any one asks a closed chamber enclosure is the way to go. She lives in one with coco coir and I spray her about 5 times a day. Every day I look at her I am amazed at how beautiful she is, and just how outgoing she is. I go to take a pic of her and she just comes running towards the camera.

Doc.....I cant wait to see what her parents look like. :D Im sure they are as beautiful as she is. Thanks for such a great little tort, she is truely a gift :)
