I purposely wanted torts different colours so can tell them apart from a distance lol, I particularly like the darker colouring, and my Roxy is a very brown colour which is very nice too x

Yes I do wonder how the colour variations are so different as they have been identified as the same subspecies, but I do like that they have different colour variations, my torts are kept in the same conditions, so will be interesting to see when they are adult, if we are all on here by then, will take a few years lol x

They are all lovely Bev. Two of my juvenile males are virtually identical in carapace colour, pattern, weight and length, but I've learnt how to identify them by slight variations in their scutes. I appreciate how having them in different shades makes it easier to tell one from the other. It will indeed be interesting to see the changes as they mature.
