Sidney Sheldon

Three-Toed Box Turtle
Sept. 2003 -May 2005

 

Sidney was named after one of my favorite authors, Sidney Sheldon. I thought Sidney would work well for a girl or a boy and the last name is great for a turtle too! I won't know for a long time if she is a she or a he...but I am calling her a she for now. I bought her from a local breeder named Christie in April 2004. She is a hatchling that had only recently come out of the ground...so she is approximately 6 months old.


If she was grown, I would be pretty sure she was a she based on her long tail with the low down anal glands...but she is very far from being grown.

Sidney currently weighs 10 grams (as of May 18, 2004). She weighed 10 grams a week ago too...I wish I had a scale that weighed less than in gram increments, but I know she eats and she is very strong still.

Isn't she just TOO cute?

Yummy meal worms!
