Your pictures are wonderful. I can't believe that one of your babies have marbling already. I thought they got that when they got older.

What do you tell them or promise them to get them to pose like that? Or are they just camera hams?

So many remarkable photos, and such comely young chelonians!

Seems like forever since we've seen photos of Stagger Lee, who also likes to mug for the camera. Chewbecca, are you out there?

 

[MeTaLerke]

Thanks for the nice comments!

For the pictures i need to be fast and have a good camera, cause when they see me, they just storm to me for begging for food!

I love them all, but the 'black' one, is a very special one:

That's the one with the marbling...
He only has a yellow dot on the nose... and his legs are all black...

Do you know where / who these came from?
Very interesting.

 

[MeTaLerke]

That baby is so beautiful. I just can't get over the marbling on one that little. It will be interesting to see how he grows.

I know! Me either. I noticed his little orange nose. Exquisite marbling and black legs!
Can't image what hell be like as a big boy

Good to know, The "Dark, Spot nosed" youngster is what peeked my interest.
I wish you all the best with those!
I'll be expecting a photo update in about 10 years! I can't wait to see!
