#physically though Leo here is an example of an average health adult female slider

Had to check something so snapped a photo real quick while I had her out- look at those stripes! Ideally I want to get her used to handling enough for some amazing reference photos that are frankly sorely lacking in the turtle art community- even if it is just slider stuff.

Getting to see the leg pockets up close in particular has been insightful where photos tend to lack such- and while this isn't a good photo for that, I'm glad you can see her head and markings so well. She's so mad at me though, I dared interrupt her very ineffective hunting of the thermometer.
