Thank you and I agree. It's a very light/white color and it will be interesting to see it grow.Welcome. I know nothing about that species, but never seen one that pretty. It's beautiful.
I love this species. I have climate envy. Very nice looking baby. Congrats!We have a new addition to the family and thought I'd share. We are all very excited!
Here's our new baby Elongated tortoise getting his first soak. I'll get a weight on him in the next few days and start tracking his/her growth.

Beautiful job raising your tortoise. The enclosure is top-notch, too.We've had our Elongated tortoise almost 2 month now and thought I'd post an update. He/she is adding weight and doing well. Weight is 72 grams today. It was 58 grams when we purchased in middle June. I have it set up with a pvc closed chamber enclosure, radiant heat panel with Zoomed thermostat, Arcadia forest 6% UVB bulb. No problem maintaining proper humidity and heat levels. Soaks every day for 30min - 1hr. These guys love to soak! I'm supplementing with Clacium w/ D3 once per week.

Getting even more beautiful as it grows. Doing a great job with him.I was told my baby Elongated Tortoise "Palmer" hatched in April 2023, so he/she is 1yr old this month and I've had this little one since June. Smooth growth and has a wonderful appetite. This species has a very bold personality, which I love.
