He/She is here?

[turtletania]

So excited as my Radiated has arrived.

He/she is 14cm long and weighs 565gms.
The name we have chosen is Sunny.

Meet "Sunny":

Any ideas on boy or girl?

Seems to be settling well.... eating well. But very shy!

[quote Hi turtletania, I have been following your post since last week which you told us you would get your radiated tortoise on May 29 (Friday). Your "Sunny" is absolutely stunning. I love the color on the shell. I have no idea if it is boy or girl. But i am happy to see that you have such a lovely pet. Have fun with your "Sunny".

Nice! I can't see the third picture but the first two you can't even make out that there is a tortoise in that shell. They can really in good!

Very nice tortoise. That plastron is incredible.

 

[DeanS]

VERY nice indeed! Congrats!

Congrats, must feel great, just got my 2nd Radiated around 5-6 weeks ago. He/she was 365 grams when I got it and today at 520 grams.

Sunny is a ray of sunshine! Beautiful tort!

 

[turtletania]

Thanks so much everyone. I am very proud of our latest addition.

Anyone have any idea if boy or girl? Or possible age?

 

[Yvonne G]

Too young to be 100% certain, but my guess if female.

Very pretty tortoise. Wasn't the seller able to give you the age?

 

[turtletania]

Yvonne, thanks. No the seller couldn't tell me anything... Sunny was passed through a number of hands before coming to me... not to mention 3 planes. What would be the rough age of one that is 14cm long?

Nice tortoise! I want to see its head x)

 

[turtletania]

Lush.... me too. Sunny hides as soon as I get near. He (?) has had his head out and I know it is mostly black, but cant get a photo cos he (?) is just so scared at the moment.

He travelled a long way before landing with me. And clearly isn't too happy about it.

Hopefully in a few weeks, when routine is set, and he gets used to us, I can get some photos of not just the shell. LOL
