Tortoise Typhoon

[Neal]

I was severely impacted by Typhoon Onarock that apparently hit all across the US. Here's the damage I got:

The two on the right are from Onarock. The one on the left is mine and nearly 6 months old...the one right next to it is only 2 weeks old. He's got some mammoth tortoises over in HI. Mine aren't slow growers either, you can see all the black is the 6 months of growth.

Here is one of mine about a month old next to Onarock's 2 week old.

This is the group they came with before being shipped to Squamata. Getting soaked and some magical AZ sun.

Wow that is some size difference, they all look very good in any case...

Haha... I have a fun mix like that too... my current oldest is not the biggest and the newest one is the tiniest of the bunch... its funny how they vary in size greatly even though they are all hatchlings and less than 6 months apart with some huge size differences. However... those are stunning leopards!

Wow! Those are some big,pretty hatchlings. First class.

Wait wait wait. The Onarock Typhoon hit my own state and no one told me?! I'd be setting out buckets to catch those gorgeous things!

 

[ChiKat]

Wow that's crazy!! Gorgeous torts all around

 

[John]

Wow, Neal that is an amazing size comparison, a two week old that is just about bigger than a six month old! How do your adults compare in size to onarocks? are his older?

Dunno, I'll measure and weigh mine tonight and post it here if he wants to do the same. Off the top of my head, I think they are both just shy of 12 inches and around 20 pounds. It's been almost a year since I weighed and measured and I recently lost all my records.

Last time I weighed them they were 35,33,26 and my Gpp is 53
