Collected my male spotted turtle today. He has a massive head.

No pic's whilst he's settling in but heres one from the brochure (joke) showing his lovely spottage.

And his man tail

And his big head (is head size sexually dimorphic in this species?).

He looks to be a very nice specimen and should provide a good potential breeding partner for those female Spot'sthat you have. Good luck for 2013!

An amazing looking turtle, love the spots.

Hopefully some breeding sucess in the future. Three month quarentine first, actually five or six as I'm intending to hibernate the spotted in December and I don't see the point of putting him with the others just to hibernate. So introductions in the spring.

He's looking good Dave

Yes male heads are a bit bigger and more "blocky" than female heads.
