Actually, two questions. First off, how long do I have to worry about my baby just failing to thrive? I'm constantly worried that one day I will wake up to a suddenly sick animal past the point of no return..
But also, I am wondering about his shell pattern. He has very dark markings in the middle of each scute, I've seen pictures of babies with some similar markings but none as dark as his. Any idea why this is, or if it means he will have darker shell growth? I have a picture in a previous post here http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-75157.html
