Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Paradox ivory sulcata.
The 2022 hatching season had several positive surprises for me, but something exceptional hatched out from my ivory (leucistic) sulcata tortoise project colony this summer. There will be several posts to show progress from hatching until the current state of growth and development. This paradox ivory sulcata is being held back for reincorporation to the project when it is large enough later on.

This post also has it shown with two typical ivory (leucistic) siblings.

Current photos. The markings have become progressively nicer and ray-like as the animal has expanded.

Not as freaky as the one from 2022, but I have been fortunate to hatch another paradox ivory animal from the same parents this year. It will likewise increase in the impression of its difference from a typical ivory as it grows.

Yet another. I do not always have good fortune when rolling the dice of morph genetics (I tend to get lopsided results compared to stats when stats apply in a known way), but some results are surprisingly pleasant.

The pattern seems pretty much set now. All that is left is amplification of body size.
