Hey everyone, so I know we determined that the breeder had kept Tank way to dry at a hatchlings age and that it will affect him his entre life.
I was just wondering if someone could look at a few photos and maybe tell me about his shell. I want to know if he will start seriously deforming if he will be ok that kinda stuff.


The other pictures won't work. I can send photos through email if anyone is willing to look.

I don't know why, but sometimes when I click on a picture to enlarge it my computer opens it up stretched. So I don't get a good idea of what the tortoise really looks like. I love the tortoise's coloring, though. That comes through loud and clear!

Hey Yvonne, thank you he does have beautiful colouring. Do you think I could email you? If that's ok just pm your address if not no worries. I can't seem to get the photos right on my phone on the forum. My computer unfortunately broke.

I'm new to Leo's so I'm no real help. I see what you mean about a couple of the scutes not necessarily growing evenly, the space between them staying narrow, while the other sides grow out. I haven't experience enough to know if this will correct itself or continue to grow in this way. But I agree with Yvonne, that he has beautiful coloring.

It's driving me crazy. He is still gaining at but it seems he has more growth on the sides then the top. He is also 6 and half inches long.
