Here's pictures of mine which I just recieved today 2/21/08
#33 , #116 & Both.

#116 looks like it got washed out a bit from the shipping...

They sure took a round about route to me from Ontario to Las Vegas then to Hawaii.
but they did arrive safely although the agriculture inspection agent couldn't find my paperwork
at least they called me and got the import permit number from me so I could pick them up with no hassles.

They are sitting in a 350 Gallon quarantine tank for now.

I must be the Worst photographer around I need to retake my pictures I found the problem my camera was set to some other mode and took horrible pics.. (ok, ok I really am a horrible photographer) well until I get a better batch I'll post these they are both at 11" and looking pretty good (not in my pics though).
First pic is #33 and Second pic is #116

Wish I could get some growth on mine. I have to tub it for it's photo op either tomorrow or Saturday. Just don't feel like it today, but I don't really think TT has changed much at all. Also looks to be the same size!

Oh, That's how I learned to take photos
Hmmm... maybe they look better blurry and if somehow I get good pics they won't look as nice .
