OK! For Rebekah (and everyone else who's requested this)...this is the latest up-to-date info regarding the development of my four sulcata babies...including now and then shots of the ivories to show the stagnation of pyramiding in both.
I am including now only photos of the normal phase (Climber and Jimmy), because they NEVER showed signs of pyramiding because I've had them since they were 4 weeks old...as opposed to the ivory babies (Eggroll and Snowflake) that were already 2 months old when I acquired them...and were already showing signs of pyramiding...although Eggroll was pyramiding at a much faster rate.
Here is my growth chart...I don't really care about these things...I only care about keeping these guys healthy...as you can see, I did the first back in April and my second today...and there is no mistake, I did not weigh anyone today.
Tortoise Measurements 27 April 2010
Aladar (8 years) 18" 30 lbs
Eggroll (5 months) 2.75" 3 oz
Climber (9 months) 2.75" 3 oz

Of course, with Eggroll, it looks like there's going to be a mate for Aladar...SOMEDAY
