I really like the chromatic diversity of your collection.

 

[immayo]

Says the man with a beautifully diverse and unique collection of his own!

Thank you Baoh!

 

[ILoveTortoises2]

Yeah it is that. I was trying to find out what it was but now I know exactly what it is I just got my first tortoise so I had to get some too
Thanks for the reply

 

[immayo]

Be careful, Mazuri is like tortoise crack!

 

[ILoveTortoises2]

Ahhh ok good to know. I won't give her/him to much then.

I love the marbley shell on the hypo. So cool

 

[immayo]

Morning wake up!
Poor Nismo.. I accidentally blinded him with the flash.

 

[N2TORTS]

GREAT PICS!

" GOSH DARN THOSE THINGS ARE UGLY ! "

 

[FLINTUS]

They are very cute Whitney! How big are they now?
JD, I still prefer the dark reds, but I do agree that the comment not made by me on the other thread was a bit harsh. Tastes differ though.

 

[N2TORTS]

Not to be off subject … and this was NOT directed to you Flint …but a more generalized point of view…
I do find it ironic …with human morals we are taught “ we’re all beautiful” …right? I find the best term ….. “It’s all in the eyes of the beholder” And for a public type forum ….some things perhaps are misunderstood and offensive to some….even though it was just a silly comment that we are all “equal” to present our opinions and views….but maybe best said to our self’s or if that really was the subject of the matter. Example … go shopping today , if over weight people offends you, walk over to the fattest guy and say …
“ DAM YOUR UGLY”….. I guess at the half a century mark you have seen it all , and take lighter steps .

and WHit' ....they LOOK AWESOME! and HAPPY CAMPERS!

 

[FLINTUS]

Great post JD. While I and many others would not pay extra for hypos personally, as you said 'it's all in the eyes of the beholder,' and it's not right to just go onto a thread and brazenly slate the appearance of a certain animal.

It's all about RESPECT

Anyways since Flintus asked, I measured the little ones! They have all grown 1/4 inch since I took measurements last (June 1st).

This puts Pip (still the smallest) at 2 1/4inch
Nismo at 2 3/4inch
and Vanilla Bean at 3inches!

I didn't want to bother T Rex at the moment because he looked rather comfy. I want to keep him happy since I blocked their upstairs hide and he isn't taking it very well. Haha

 

[FLINTUS]

Wow, VB's quite big now! My Cerezo is only .5 of an inch bigger than her and is two years old lol.

 

[immayo]

Yea Vanilla Bean and Nismo are going to be some big torts! But then again their parents were some of the biggest ones Jeff has. Nismo surprises me the most. He is only 2days older than Pip and is 1/2 an inch larger!

 

[FLINTUS]

Actually, 2.5 years lol. JD, do hypos generally get larger? Cerezo comes from small lines, his parents were both under 10 inches and CB around 20 years old. One was F2 CB. So any offspring from Cerezo will be half 3rd generation. He was naturally small, barely over 2 inches at a year old. Also, I've grown him slower than most torts.
