It looks to be a Turkish T.g.ibera and probably a female. She's probably around a year old.

Crazy1 said:Angie, a postal scale would be fine. they carry inexpensive scales at Walmart if there is one in your area. Just make sure it has grams. I got mine from a computer show and it is a kitchen scale and came with a bowl. It weighs in grams and lbs. You can place a bowl on the scale and tare it to zero then place your little one in the bowl and get the correct weight. Mine is digital. I have seen similar types at Walmart and home centers.

I'd love to see some pics of the Marginated. I have two and I love these little guys!
Crazy1 said:Angie,
Here is an easy conversion system. I use all the time. I'm not good at the gram, oz and pound thing either nor am I good at mm, cm and inches or C to F. So this has been a really great help to me.

If it was me I'd seperate them.

Crazy1 said:Angie, sometimes their eyes water because they are dry. do you have a humid hide for Goldie?
There is a thing cald the Jackson Ratio it is a way to measure your tort (Greeks and hermanni) to see if they are within a good weight to lenght size. I worked out Goldie and according to the graph she is fine.
Here is a site to get the graph for hatchlings.
