How long had the previous owners had her Claire? Just wondering if that growth is down to them or not.

I couldnt agree more with that statement. After all I have a 35+ Spurthighed who according to most have never been fed the right diet and they would be horrified if they new all the things he ate.

But he is a good weighed, has a lovely shell as well.

Claire I think you new tort is gorgeous, sounds like she is having a ball as well.

thanks guys she is lovely,
just cant wait to put tank and squirt together,i has they feces back and they are both free from protoza/worms, both healthy,when can i put them together?
can i put em 2gether n the garden? to see if they get on
some one on here mentioned 3 month quarantine providing screening was all clear and torts are both healthy,
then others say 6 month then others say 12???

is it down to the individual? as if it is i would be happy to introduce them they are both fit and healthy and screened,and its all clear?

I think its upto you really when you put them together.

If their tests are clear and they are healthy then I dont see why they can say hello to each other.

Others may say different though, guess its down to whether your happy to put them together or not.
