A 'Speedy' update...

Here is an updated picture of Speedy who is maintained indoors and on mostly grocery greens and rarely weeds. In the last 6 months he has been given Mazuri tortoise diet on alternating days. He has been living in a 2� x 4� x 8�� enclosure with an active UV heat lamp for the last 3 years and has rarely been outdoors. He�s about 8 inches scl and is just starting to get a little big for this enclosure. The last growth spurt you can see I attribute to the Mazuri Diet. This is the best picture of the guy I can get because when he comes out of his she he does not stop moving and is impossible to photograph.

This next guy is an adoption I got not too long ago. I�ll be posting occasional pictures of this guy as he grows. Note the shape of his shell.
