: Just got back from a trip to Phoenix,( we're buying a house, now in the contract stage)so I'm just catching up with recent posts.

: I saw the photos of Virgil, he's very cute.Hard to really compare him with Hoku by the photos.
: But I would say Hoku may be very slightly bigger, not much though.Again hard to tell by photos, he could even be smaller!

: Hoku has recently been having a little growth spurt,
: nothing drastic but we can finaly see growth lines.
: The major difference between Virgil and Hoku is color.

: Hoku is beige/light all over, with only a very thin line of darker color around his scutes. The line is thiner than that made by a thin marker.

: One day I'll master this digital camera and post photos, it's so nice to see everyones tort pictures.

: Terry.
: Oh and Esther if you read this, I put in my vote for you at Turtle Times.

My friend has a really nice camera and I'm going to have her take some close-ups of him with other objects for size comparison. Virgil did have a growth spurt a few months back when he had the white lines, etc. I just measured the bottom of his shell, head to toe, and he is exactly 3". If what I was told when I purchased him is correct, he will be a birthday boy next month (1 year old). He continues to eat and poop like a fiend and is perfectly smooth all over.
