You must have done a fantastic job keeping is humidity high. He looks good!
He's kept in a room with several large open top fish tanks that stays very humid I think that's helped.

Todd, I am still on the fence adding another buddy? I thought Stan.lee was female , however, now the tail is a little longer and her shell went from flat to a tiny bend now..two females not an issue but two males could be issues...I dont want to breed seems a very cool hobby but...not me any ideas..looking at people who rescue to get a 4 yr old ..but on the fence

If you post pictures of the tail and underside folks here could probably tell you the sex. Murphy just recently was able to be sexed, he's a male. I actually did get another one. I have a hatchling too now but they are seperate.

Spring is almost here and I've been working on a new outdoor enclosure for Murphy. Today I planted some cilantro, hostas, lettuce, and a couple of hibiscus I started last summer. I'm going to do away with the old brick hide and build a new box off the side of the pen he can access when he likes. I've also got some broad leaf testudo seed mix on the way im going to plant.IMG_20190311_133456551.jpg IMG_20190314_104630204.jpg IMG_20190314_104657574.jpg IMG_20190314_104645390.jpg IMG_20190314_104705391.jpg
