This photo shows how dramatically better my Southern Painted's color is. I posted a while ago about how poor it was when I first got him, but after mixing in crickets and worms into his diet, his color really started to stand out.

This week his carapace has brightened even more as he started shedding his scutes. You can see the red, yellow, and green swirling around his shells and his stripe, my God, his stripe is great! In the pic, you can see the difference in what it looked like compared to now as the scute near his head has not shed yet.

Just thought I'd share my excitement.
