Awe, thanks. Tuck and Trey (and Tulee, who I gave away) were my first three tortoises that I raised with the full "wet" routine from hatching. I am still pretty happy with the results. Daisy started out with the dry routine before I got her and was already pyramided, but she was my first "guinea pig" with the wet routine. I started slow with her, but gradually got it wetter and wetter. She's now four years old and each of her scutes and growth lines is a living record, or showcase, of dry vs. hydrated. You can actually see the transition from wet to dry in the changing angles of her pyramids. I raised Scooter and Bert and from hatchlings and Deloris was a year or two old when I got her. They are victims of the dry AND the "intentionally grow them slow" routine. I've had Bertha and Chewy for a little over a year, and who knows what they went through before coming to me. The history is a bit spotty, but what I was told didn't sound great.

Tom there's so much going on at your place that I'm jealous. It's 24 degrees here and it's a good thing that I have two torts and some boxie hatchlings inside, to play with.

It is unseasonably warm here. Its over 80 degrees right now. We are usually in the 60's this time of year with only occasional warm days. Its been warm like this since before Christmas. Me and my torts are loving it, but my weeds are struggling... I'm just trying to take advantage of it and enjoy it as much as possible while it lasts. I know more cold weather is on the way.
