I’m really excited for this little female. 😊 she took her first dip in the water today. She will be going into water full time either tonight, or first thing tomorrow morning. Her sister went into the hatchling setup today. This girl is just a day behind. 🐢

I’m excited to see how this little female looks, once she stretches out completely. She’s similar to the diadem, but there’s some broken lines on the pattern. 🐢
