He is actually a little lightr in color from the rest other than that his shell is purfect no disformations or piramiding. He does everything all the others do to. But thanks for the answers guys.

:
: : A small percentage, around 1 , are runts. They grow slower, and have a higher mortality rate. Maybe he is one. He still can have a long and healthy life since he's made it thru the critical first year. Was he darker in color than the others when you got him? Was his shell a little warped? These are clues.
