Hi Lucy. Nice Photo! Should have cleared the sand from its face first! :-) You've seen US and Med Cc hatchlings. Is it true they're brown over there and do you know if the difference is reported anywhere?

Hey Alan! It was kind of sleepy so I didn't wipe it's eyes! Yeah, USA Cc Hatchlings are browner, the adults are certainly a very different colour and of course the American turtles are bigger (but not neccessarily better!). I've not seen it reported to my knowledge.
