Great pictures Wendy.

Woohoo. Lovely pics Wendy - that first one, tort on the left looks like my Desdemona
I suppose we will all have to increase our computer speeds now lol

They're really nice which camera did you go with??

Thanks for the nice comments

Josh, I got the Panasonic one i found it easy to understand and prefered the flash being static rather than pop up.

Sue, the one on the left at the back is Fred and the one at the left front is Rosie, however i think "she" might be a he, will take some pics and see what you all think lol

Very nice torts! I love the fact that no matter what lengths you go to to provide a spacious enclosure - they all pile up in the same area!

Oh, won't tell Desdemona she looks like a fella then lol
Looking forward to the pics. Have you had them from tiny Wendy or are they rescues?

No i've had them from tiny the to 2 bigger ones are from the same breeder and the smaller one from another breeder all 2007 hatchlings I made a mistake with the first 2 and the have pyramided i have been trying to correct this by correcting humidity and feeding smaller amounts plus weighting monthly the weight gain is now small and even. I'm hoping the pyramiding will lessen as they get older i know i can never completing repair it but i learnt from my mistake.

I learned from mine too Wendy. I reared the first two in accordance with well known 'experts'. I now use humid hides after watching torts in the wild and have much better results lol
It won't show as much when they are full grown anyway, one of my biggest torts has obviously been a bit lumpy at one stage and it's hardly noticeable now.
