Thanks! Learned a lot right here in this forum. Thanks for all the posts.

It will be fun to see how it grows the first few months. Thanks!

I agree. Thanks!

Well… After about six years of raising these girls up I finally have a hatchling! I got some eggs from one of the girls last year. But, none of them were fertile. This year two of the three females laid and so far there are 8-9 fertile eggs. The last five that just went into the incubator...

Thanks for the comment. It is kind of cool to be able to see the whole journey.

I forgot to mention that this female is named Annie Oakley.

Here is my largest Burmese Star Calamity Jane With a peak weight of 4086.

Here is the smallest female Bonnie Parker. She weighs in at 3450g.

Here are my two males Burning Man & Starman. One is a little under 2,000g and the other is a little over.

This is the female that laid the eggs. Her peak recorded weight was 3728g. Granted I wasn’t weighing very frequently.

I am overdue for some tortoise pics. Perhaps if the weather allows I can try to get a few photos.

My first Burmese Star Tortoise eggs have now gone from diapause in a wine fridge to incubation in a fancy incubator. They were scattered not buried and this is a first time layer. So, may not pan out. But, I am glad to get my first platynota eggs.

Nice one!

I got a parrot a couple of years ago that I think would object to another bird. But, I really have gotten a lot busier with tortoises and kids etc. and worry about a lack of time. I have kept up with my permit though. So, one of these days I may jump back in.

Such cool birds!
