Well it was a late day at work so I got to my friends at dusk and the female sulcata and the unknown female had gone to bed. The male DT was out though. I have pics of him and of the Sulcata from last month.
Male DT - She has had him 16-18 years

Female Sulcata - 7-8 years old

Okay so tomorrow I will go when it is warm and see if I can get a Pic of the other female. She was in the dark but looked almost the same size as the sulcata. Definitely looked bigger than the male DT. She also looked to have some pyramiding of her shell. As I said before, she is a complete unknown and was dumped in my friends yard a few years ago. I told her I would try to ID her species and possibly her age. I am still left wondering "who's the mom?" :p

For some unknown reason, a great white shark just swam into my unconsciousness.

My oldest girl isn't too bad, considering, but my littler one has some significant pyramiding. Not like some I have seen, though. Smooth shells here on out for my girls though ;)

Considering she is not tort experienced she (and her foster son) did very well raising her from a hatchling. The DT and the Unk female both were dumped in her yard as adults, so they were already pretty much the way they are now. Unfortunately for me and good for her she had work today and we didn't get to go see the unk female but there is always tomorrow. :D

Speaking of Soap Operas.. did we ever find out the answer to this question?!

What question? Did Luke and Laura get back together? Did Tracy get caught in bed with Ethan...and is Ethan really his evil twin?

Ok thanks guys for keeping the thread alive. :p I have been so busy at work (and with sick dogs)I haven't even had time to think straight let alone go up to her house for pics. I am out of town until next week but I will get up there and take a pic of the other female after I get back. I also want to try to figure this out.
I was a Days of our Lives viewer until I started working full time so you lost me except the Luke and Laura reference and everyone knows them. :D
