    Thanks Tom, I have 3 international friends who breed platysternons so getting good advice...It's a very tricky species to breed :)

    Platysternons hatched at Prospect Zoo!

    Very great news. Usually zoos are the worst at breeding reptiles and normally focus on fuzzy mammals.

    Platysternons hatching

    I'm not sure what it is..All I see is that it's slime on the shell (partial yolk sack maybe?) not shell damage. They did just fine after hatching. Have no idea where they are now.

    Platysternons hatching

    Heres a rare treat. Platysternons hatching (the only pictures around I think?). From several years back. Shared photo from Sue Teidemann. I had contacted her a while back for breeding advice, etc. Thought Gerard and Anthony would enjoy these too :)
