Update on my little Humphrey. At 10 months of age he is 170 grams and 3-5/8 inches SCL. It is amazing to me to watch his color change. Now the black is coming in again, and in some places it looks "blocky." I wonder if the white will fill in on top between the scutes or not. Every month I revisit his growth and color patterns. Very happy with his growth rate at thi point.

Love The White Ones :)

I am enjoying it while it lasts, the white will eventually mix again with the black. Every phase along the way is really pretty I think.

Thanks Neal. I think his plastron looks like an African mask. If you look at it for awhile you can see these really eery looking eyes. :cool:
