His shell is changing colors fairly quickly. Here's a picture from a week or two ago and here it is now.

I would say his shell looks healthier now than it did before. Looks like he's been growing pretty fast though. What have you been feeding him?

I've been feeding him pellets with romaine lettuce, with him munching on some anachasis that's in my tank. He's still a hatchling so I have to feed him pellets everyday. He's barely 2 inches though. When I just got him he was 1.5 inches and now he's 1.7 inches. He's about to be a yearling though. :) Born in July '09. Going to switch him from pellets everyday to romaine lettuce, red leaf lettuce, some fruits here and there and pellets every other day or two.
