Another Testudo hermanni hermanni hatched today after 53 days This is the quickest I've had one hatch. She's adorable and is a pretty big baby even though mom is another one of my "mini" tortoises. Mom is 4.5", she's a little bigger than the mother of the last baby I hatched.

This little baby has an attitude and she hissed and gaped at me right out of her egg.

Here she is:






Here's mom:

What a funny little monkey! She is adorable and even has a bit of a "sassy" look to her! Mom is gorgeous!

I love those hatchling pics!!! So cute!!! Keep em coming!

Thanks guys

So sweet!! Thanks for sharing!! Mom is beautiful too!![/u]

Amazing - thanks for sharing!

The pictures are very beautiful and the tortoises are really wonderful. Cute the mother too. How old is she?

Congrats again Chris! She is adorable.

perfect baby.
love the 1st & 4th pics.
I am, of course and as usual, green with envy...

Thanks everyone

Tortugo, mom is exactly 5 years old. She's small, but the mother of the last baby I posed is only 4 years old and just barely 4 inches in length. These 2 moms are much smaller than the other adult hermanni hermanni have.
