She's beautiful! You're very lucky to have gotten a female. They are few and far between. In all the years that I've been rescuing turtles and tortoises I've only taken in about 6 of them. How is she liking that new pen?

Why do you think that is?

I'm sure its because of the temp/sex/egg thing. More males than females are formed in the eggs. (global warming? lol)

So you find that ratio in the wild as well?

WHOA! I just caught ET hanging up her picture in his igloo next to Farah Fawcet and Marilyn Monroe! He thinks she is a hottie and is all over these cyber relationships! I told him he better watch his booty as it looks like the nameless beauty could take his booty OUT!

Congrats!
