the rest of my easterns

Thanks for sharing. I love seeing pictures of other's turtles.
The bottom 2 (and "bug" appear to have some pyramiding of the shell. How long have you had these guys, they still look young! Bright, alert, and beautiful markings.

You are absolutely correct the two smaller easterns do have some pyrimiding, and they a only 4 yrs old now, and I didn't raise them from hatchling like I did my 3-toes, they came from Texas and I suspect they were in too low of humidity and poor soil or actually sand and rock, since I have had them their shells and skin have colored up tremendously, of course Iowa has excellent soil and better conditions humidity wise for these turtles, so I think they still have good potiential and will look better every year, time will tell.
