Avery handsome specimen! I imagine his left "hand" must have been injured at some time. I am sure you know that presumably if the nails are not getting any wear, they will need to be trimmed periodically. If x-rayed to identify the cause, soft splinting might bring the "hand" out again. It depends how long it has been that way. I wonder what the age expectancy is of these guys. Jasper looks bright and healthy! Great photo! Daphne

Nice shot of your dog, or is it a cat? Jasper is a cutie and this image of him with stretched out neck works well. Good focus on him. is eyes are clearly seen. The yellow pattern on his body mimics his shell. Good setting that feels natural. Well taken.

Aw... He's beautiful! You've had him so long! I love that you captured his gorgeous yellow and brown patterns and red eyes. The focus is great...I can see his facial features so clearly. You must be taking excellent care of him! It's a fantastic close up.

    Thanks for the wonderful review,he?s definitely quite interesting,I?ve always enjoyed having turtles,at least he doesn?t have to be in the water all the time like the pond sliders my brother and I used to raise during the summer as kids!
