: Thanks Ed :-)

: Carlotta is just about a year old (I know, she may end up being a 'Carl'). I'm glad to hear that her growth looks good. What do you look for? I started noticing that her shell is looking just a little bumpy. I've read that Hermann's are particularly prone to pyramiding. I'm honing her diet a bit.

: : Jen, I'd like to see the whole tortoise. That's some very nice looking growth from what I can see. That keritin is normal except in the wild it yellows and does not appear as clear.
: : Ed

: : : My year old hermann's has developed small clear areas at the edges of some of her marginal scutes. Is this a sort of keratin overgrowth? Is it normal, or is there a problem? I'm trying for the first time to post a picture...
