Haven't been here in a long time. I wasnt sure which forum to post all this so I'll just do it here.

This is Dora, She died july. She wasnt eating and her shell was squishy. She was loosing weight and really not moving at all here last few days. Here is a pic of one of that last times she ate.

Here is a before and after shot of Koopa. His pyramiding seems to be going away. Probly due to his frequent soaking and humidity box. When I got this little guy last January he weighed a 50g, today he came in at 152g. He's Beastly

Turty is my smallest and least beastly tort. He prefers to chill in his "apartment" most of the day and only comes out to eat and bask for a little while each day before he runs back into his apartment. When I got him he was 49g and today he came in at 120g.

Hi Luke:

I must admit...Atticus is absolutely beautiful!

He really is. His shell is perfect imo, smooth and symmetrical. His head is getting a little lighter as he gets older but thats fine.

Other then keeping a humid hide, I just make sure to soak them often. I also spray their carapice a few times a day. I don't use a mister/fogger right now but hopfuly soon.
