Steve,

Do you have an issue with the big females having an overgrowth of the beak and hard pallete? I had a big female Miss. map recently that had to have some work on the inside of her mandible because she wasn't eating enough hard foods in captivity. Seems the females eat a lot of snails and freshwater molusks in the wild, similar to terrapins, and my latest vet, Dr. Boyd, says he sees this problem often in captive terrapins.
