Very cute. Like the looks of your other one too. You know they can't be housed together. The big one will bully the little one. Besides the fact that you should be keeping them apart for quarantine for about three months. The little one looks like their could be some pyramiding. The deep separation between the scutes. However, get him house correctly and you probably won't notice it when he's larger. It could also be the angle of the pics. Toms threads are below if you need a refresher on the proper housing.

Thanks! I don't have a name yet

And I know they can't be housed together or by each other I just wanted to take a comparison picture :)

How cute and your big one is very pretty, other then it being dark from not being out in natural sunlight it seems to be smooth. You have done a nice job. Looks like there was previous pyramiding that has been corrected some time ago.

I live in Michigan and believe me as soon as it gets warm she will be outside all the time :)
And yes when I got her her shell was pyramiding pretty bad but I am working really hard to correct it and give it a varied diet. Doesn't help when the breeder I got her from told me to keep her on Timothy hay!!! That was corrected as soon as I found this site!

Light bulb!lol so natural light lightens up there shell? I was wondering why they darken up when I can't get them out in the sunshine.
