I did think ( for a mad minute!) I will fit the two in this baby bath.

Many thanks to Terry & Jonathan who have encouraged me that it is ( longwinded!) But possible to do via a phone!

Yes they would have been over-crowded! Nice photos - does this mean there might be more Margie pics?

Awww Lynn, these are beauties, who are these two, girls or boys and what age. I like the idea of using a baby bath. I have made the same mistake, thinking I can still fit two in one bath !

Lovely looking Margi's. I once saw one of these in the wild, he was walking across the road in full view of the acropolis in Athens!
The photos put the size of my Hermann in to context, he currently baths in an anglers bait tub

Very nice. Love the flared marginal scutes on this species.

Beautiful Margie ladies there, Lynn.

It's funny but I had the same thought on Monday when bathing my lot. Florence and Arabella have shared since I had them but it's a bit of a squish now so single baths are needed. It's little things like that which make you realise they're getting big. A much bigger scale for you and your margies though. Hope all your torts are doing well. Would be lovely to see more photos now you've worked out how to do it on your mobile- you're more advanced than me!!

Thanks you for the comments. These are both male. Sid the smaller (over 2 kilo) & Val (Doonigan) 3+kg.
Sid is definately boss (or wants to be!) Very few spats but whenever Sid does start Val either retreats into his shell & takes no notice or walks away! Val's a gentle giant, loves eating, sunbathing & company (if friendly)

Ah yes Sid and Val, they are very handsome, Val looks quite huge, what length is he now at 3k 😳 Ptolome is a gentle giant too.
