Picked up this specimen the other day, and I'm quite proud so I'll be showing her off to the world. Looks like we'll be hanging on to this one for awhile. We call her Gwen, and so far she eats, poops, and sleeps like a baby (tortoise and human) should.

Actually, yes. She has some kind of white spot in her mouth. It's not thrush, but at first we thought it was a tooth.

It's about 3ft by 1 1/2ft. Firm padding is the substrate we are using.

She looks very smooth and well hydrated. You are doing a great job with her! Congrats on the new addition.

Congrats! I see you did go with Gwen. She may not have a split scute, but I can see why you decided to keep her. ;)
