I really need to dig up my digital camera; I've been using my camera phone! lol

Anyway, here are my photos of Penny!
here's her, the day we got her:

and here she is, in September:

and here's a fairly blurry photo of her, dozing by her moss (apparently, so long as she's in moss, she's hidden... tortoise logic).
Though the moss looks GREAT! Oh, and she's lying next to a wine bottle cork.

Matt and I were looking at the difference between the first day, and today. I'm impressed there's a change! I'll try to get photos of her when she's awake, but she's such a bundle of activity!

I noticed there's some pyramiding, but I think that was because we started out keeping her dry as a bone (with water available at all times, but the humidity was pretty much nil).

Since boosting the humidity and heat, she has had two growth spurts, and the new growth is glossy like a hair in a shampoo commercial! :p

oh yeah: this one's blurry as heck, but the attitude still comes across.

Penny is ALL attitude! lol


it's terrible how the photos look fine on the phone, and turn out to be terrible... :(

Be careful with those cheap Petco gauges.I had 1 that was in a enclosure I bought that read 30 degrees different than my digital thermometer.

Thanks! Her older siblings were amazing, so I have high hopes for my little scaly princess! :)

it has been almost 48 hours since I took the most recent photo, posted on here, and she's had another spurt!

there is now marbling visible between the sections (plates?) of her shell!
I'm so excited!!!
she was showing some above her scutes, even a week ago, but I hadn't seen anything on top until tonight. I'll post photos in the morning. :D
