I'm not used to seeing them hatching, so excuse me, that's a sulcata right?

great photos! congrats on a VERY cute hatchling!

SO adorable!! I hope I can experience that some day...

OMG!!! What a cute baby!!! What a wonderful experience! Yea!!!!!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. She (fingers crossed) needed a little help breaking free of the egg so I gave her a little assist. I used a magnifying glass to look at her egg tooth and she didn’t have one. She was so eager to get out when I freed her front limbs she literally pulled herself free of the egg. She was a little lopsided and took a few clumsy steps then I whisked her up rinsed her off and sat her on some antibiotic ointment in a shallow bowl and put her back into the incubator.

SULCATACRAZY, Its a Greek. She is only 11 g and 30 mm long (1 inch = 25.400 mm). How big is a Sully when it is hatched?
