I purchased this beauty nine months ago or so. I chose it due to the large amount of white markings on the shell. I thought it could possibly be due to a poor diet. During the last nine months on what I consider to be an awesome diet (kale, collard, spinach, sweet peppers, broccolii, zuchinni, various beans, the occasional fruit, etc. dusted with a tortoise dietary suppliment), the white markings continue to grow. I have only been able to find one other like her, a picture in an old "Reptile Hobbyist" mag. It mentioned nothing about the odd coloration and it wasn't a cherryhead. Has anyone else seen this before? If so, was it genetic.
