Larry being on the cure~

His a eye has been in part layed with thin flim lately and his under-lip skin seem to have wounded.
So, he lost his appetite little bit these days.
I put some reptile medicine on the wounds.
I fed him slices of porks to recover his appetite.
I'm really glad that he's gorging on them.
He's is exhilarating, always showing his curiosity.
Camera-loving as always been!

Time to change her(his) name?

What about the eyes.
They seem to have been blacked at least in a different tone from the female's.
I really like her(his) oval shaped carapace.
We can get a closer look at her(his) tail.
What do you think?
Is it female's like everybody thought before or the proof that everybody was wrong?

Still confusing if she is a male~

You know, I named her "Maria" in the first place.

Why have I always been confused if she was male?
Since many people agreed that the tail distance from the plastron was females, I have been keeping her with females.

But one day, she was climbing on other females in a mating stance.

I really was interested, thinking this one might've been a male.

From the moment right on, I put her with males and no male seems to have courted her.

Now, I'm getting a feeling that I have to start call this one not her but him.

Well, from this angle, the tail seems thick enough of male.
She(He) is always very actively moving around, it always takes quite an effort to get her(his) whole body in a picture.
When I posted the picture of her tail location off plastron a couple of years ago, everybody said that it just looked like female's.
If she(he) has a round eyes.
The eyes seem to have been blackened, haven't they? Which is the distinctive sign of a male.

The Stallion

Look at his tail! The length and thickness epitomize the fertility very well.

To breed up new babies, this could be the perfect male.

He impregantes the females ones better than other males I've ever seen.
Behind all male dominant character, he has innocent eyes.
I like the way his carapace is convexed.

Her tail has been bealed but still wish it would grow back a bit longer...

She's grown recognizably. One proof is that she used to pass through the holes on the sides of the log, now she can't. One day, she got stuck in there, so my mother pull her out.
I always like her long carapace. If not her tail was nipped off, it would've been perfectly balancedly slim feature.
She is very tamed and always very curious.
I'm fond of her because she is very feminine.
I always feel a deep affection for her. because her mildness incurred her tail nipped off more by constantly courting strong a male than other females.

A Bachelor

He's doing fine but looks little bit lonely.
When I have proper setting for breeding, he will play the role as a stallion.

Great team is forming

She is hardly climbing up on the log.
She is just swimming around most of the time.
Maybe, I need to study about that behavior little bit.
Yoo-hoo, Look at the line-up!
They are ready to roll!
By courtesy of olders, she could've easily mixed in.
