Far from adult but, also far from his original hatchling size. FaRT is taken out periodically to examine him for sores, parasites, carapace/plastron condition, etc. He's been examined so often that he doesn't fight it anymore. And, he begs (comes to the top front of the tank and splashes the surface with his right flipper) for his post-exam treats as soon as we return him to his tank (white seedless grapes and raw peeled shrimp).

Lovely. Still has a lot to grow....

I will post a pix of mine who is a monstrous tank....
 
Very pricey here, too. I bought 4 just before their inclusion into CITES for US$64.88 each.

Just saw 2 for sale here and I think they were 1 and 2 years old. They could fit in the palm of your hand anyways. They were going for $1200 and $1400
 
He looks good!
 
An interesting choice of names, I dread to think what your pet name for your partner is, & the mind boggles if you have kids…:ROFL:
