Top right will be your best one in the second photo... But it's all relative to what one likes/looks for in these!

One of these 7 is the one with the dark plastron !!

I batch my hatchlings out into 7 or 8 per enclosure after 3 mths till they are about 3-3.5" ( at this size I do my first culling ,rejecting the less yellow guy for sale )

Some just pass 3" some about 3.5" all hatch within a week of each other !!
Does those faster grower represent a certain sex group ? ( remember someone here say Female grow faster )

Almost time to make that hard hard decision !! Seller or keeper .

Really, I hate that you have such a hard decision to make. Send them to me, I will keep a very close eye on them, keep really good records of eating, pooping, activity, diet, etc and will send the best one back to you. This will take the burden off of you:p.
Okay, I really don't feel sorry for you, what a great dilemma to be in:p:D. They are all beautiful, it will be hard to decide.

Thats what I need to confirm its " uniqueness "

If this one is a "wow" grade already then there's 2 more that should be better - smaller thou .

Thanks for replying
