New Radiated-photos

[samstar]

Just brought her home today, isn't she lovely? Have not measured her but she is about 5 inches in length and weighs in at round 250 grams. Gave her some salad mix to eat but she hasn't touched it yet, guess she's still a bit nervous. Her eyes are a little watery and nose very slightly wet. A bit of heat and tender loving care should put her back on track. She must be tired from the journey. Hope she starts eating tomorrow.

Good thing she just drank some water and her urine is clear which is a good sign. I turned off her lights to let her get some rest as she had a long journey, hopefully her food dish will be empty in the morning.

She's beautiful! You're making me so jealous. Wish I could afford one.

Thanks, I feel very lucky to have her. I am going to do a little prayer for her before I head to bed

The radiated tortoises found in Asia look so much different from the bloodlines here. Very interesting.

Great looking rad!

Where you from? This carpet is temporary and not something I personally like beucase they can try to eat it thinking it's grass. I will soon get for her the reptile felt type carpet which they cannot bite, it's what I use for my Stars.

Perhaps your animal was able to bury down and put some wear on his carapace, which causes the center of the vertebrals and pleurals to look completely yellow?

If not, one would expect the entire hatchling to look bright yellow.

Thank you all! I honestly have been learning a lot from you'll. Today I put salad mix in her food dish and she just looked at it and walked away. However later in the day , she did eat a little so it's a good start. I also saw her basking under the heat lamp and drink a little from the water dish. Hope all goes well.

Well I hope she's healthy at the rate she's eating now which is not much. Will keep updating. however no more teary eyes, nose is clear dry also. She's just got to start eating properly.
