Meet Buster!

I'm trying this out on the iPhone app so lets see how it goes. I just got this cute little guy yesterday from Andrew at Arizona Tortoise and couldn't be happier. This is my first and only Pardalis Pardalis so I'm kind of excited. I'm going to be doing the high humidity environment and will post my enclosure setup over in the other board.

Thanks for all the replies. I got word from ATC that he hatched the first week in August 2013, and I just weighed him in at 34g. He/She is showing some growth and it looks good so far. I for one believe in the high humidity upbringing to 6" and hope to be another example of smooth shell growth. I'll keep posting pics and stats.

I too have one from that hatch time from Andrew, just weighed mine to compare to yours and he was 42.02g

Your's is nicer, let's trade! Ok maybe not
Are you raising him/her the humid method? I'd like to be a positive test case myself and it would be cool to post our progress.

Yep hot and humid, here's my temperature gradient. 108, 96, 89, and 82. Humidity never gets below 70% but generally sticks around 88%. I soak them once in the morning and once in the evening when I get home from work. They get about 30-45 minutes of outdoor time a day when I'm home for my lunch break. Once they get bigger ill feel more comfortable letting them spend more time outside in the sunshine.
