A new man.

Post by turtlegirl95 » Wed Apr 05, 2017 3:50 pm

I had a successful first molt back in February. Talk about stressful though. I brought my babies home on January 9th and Augustine (Gus) decide to bury and start molting that day!!! He was down exactly a month I was so worried the whole time!!! Image
Before and after.

He recently changed into the turbo. I didn't have any turbos and I knew he was needing a new she'll so I picked up just this one at the pet store and he found it that night and changed. It's like he knew it was for him!

I know!!!! Guess he was in ruff shape before I got him. He also loves food so maybe that's part of the drastic change.
