Elongata hatchling -- neat color!

no one

Yes it would, are you keeping this hatchling? Then you can post pictures from time to time. That would be nice.
The only time I saw a dark Elongata was one from Italy. He was probably 2 years old or so. Very dark colorings, even his head. So different then my Turt. I was thinking of getting him, but I didn't.
How many hatchlings do you have this season?

I'd like to follow his/her progress too.

The shell coloration is really interesting, but I love the all black legs and light head too. I love this species and I'm really fighting the temptation to jump in…

Please post updates for us?


@MichaelaW Have you seen this one? Check it out!

Yes, I'll keep the pictures coming -- remind me :)! Here is a picture of its siblings from the same clutch.

This hatchling is my fourth this season. Sadly, I lost 8 eggs with fully formed torts inside. I have no idea what happened; there was no apparent cause -- obviously very disappointing.

We've been talking about this sort of thing in a couple of other threads. Might be a helpful tid bit in there somewhere for you, or you might have a puzzle piece to give to us.
