Meet my babies!!!

Hey guys here's my 3 year olds, I assume they are a couple one is growing faster than the other. One is 18.5 cm and the other one is 16 cm bought them together at size 8-8.5 cm.
They rome in the yard in the summer and autumn, they love their tropical plants moist area(always hiding in there in the mud) and they have a winter tank, nice and moist coconut mix

First off, so nice to not see a sparkly clean waterdish! I swear, if I take a picture of a tortoise any where near the waterdish, it's normally either a really old stained one or the tortoise had just gotten out of it after doing a BM.

The second picture that shows the eye up close, I love it!! I think it would have been nice in the calendar.

Thanks for sharing your pretties with us!

.. almost forgot, one growing faster does not always mean a pair. More often it is one is getting the prime basking places and the best/most food (AKA a bully). Not always true, but often. Sometimes it's just the way each one's genes are saying to grow.

Thanks a lot for your comments!

I didnt say though that beacause his bigger it means his a male.. I was told when i bought them that they are paired(found it weird since they cannot be sexed when small) but then i thought they mush have incubated them in different temps to have males or females..just assumed..or pet shop owner was just saying whatever hahahhah
Yeah might sign in one or two for calendar sometime!
Thanks

Very nice!
I have two redfoots who were bought as hatchlings. One is now way bigger than the other. I don't think bullying caused this as they have always been built differently (smaller one is much higher domed). But now that they are bigger and really showing the size difference, the small one does seem to be more intimidated and withdrawn. This behavior just started this past summer when I put them outside for the first time.

Nice pictures, i really enjoyed them. Thank you for sharing. Not a real big difference in size. I wouldn't worry about it. They look great...
