Default Zags colour is getting lighter

I love her pattern of stripes radiating on each scute. She is now 9.2 cms and 150 grams





And shhhhh I think Astreus is snoring.................

Very pretty I was examining my lots' shell patterns this morning too. Fascinating watching the colours and patterns develop

Yes zag is changing as she grows, the lines radiating from the scutes are showing lighter areas, so golden Zag may end up more golden as she gets older, that's why I love these subspecies, they are all so unique in colour and pattern x

Just gorgeous and so unique. The contrast in her colouring is very special. She's going to be beautiful!
Astreus looks very golden in that photo. It is interesting watching how their shells change as they grow. I've noticed it just with my Hermanns, but I bet it's even more striking with Golden Greeks.

I know I post a lot of pictures of Zag, but she changes as she grows and it's good to look back and see how she changes, she will be 2 years old in June so will also post a sexing picture again to see if still female

Oh no, keeping them coming Bev! I love seeing your photos.
Chester will be 2 in June too, so I shall post a sexing photo of him then as well. They're probably a similar size.

Great idea Bev. I'll take some new photos of him this week so you can see how he's looking and then we can post sexing photos in the summer.
