Lucy the three toed and Sam the tan gulf coast are thriving. After a short quarantine and a vet check, they are now housed together in a rubbermaid container. Both are still pretty small...Sam is just a couple months old and I think Lucy is around 6 months old. She supposedly hatched in 2013, but I'm not so sure about that.

Really not sure of their sexes, I've just made arbitrary distinctions lol.

But how in the world can you determine the species at such young ages??!?! I believe you- I'm just wanting to learn how you can tell. :p

I only know because they are both captive bred and were sold to me as such :)
