I received the three female hatchlings May 2nd of 2018 and the first egg to hatch was April 15th 2024. One laid eggs the year before but they did not appear to be fertile. And, I got the males later they were maybe half grown. I do not know when they were produced.

I ended up with 13 hatchlings and got hatchlings from all three females. Raised them up for a good while then eventually sold off all the hatchlings. It was pretty fun and I learned a lot.

I’m glad you built some seriously sturdy facilities! Hope the storm goes easy on you. Looks pretty nasty.

I’m up to ten hatchlings. The latest ones are from a second female. I also have eggs from the third in diapause. Sure would be nice to get hatchlings from all three this year. But, even if none of the third female’s eggs hatch it has been great to finally get some Burmese Star hatchlings!

How is that chair still in one piece? Definitely stronger than the ones my neighbor has.

A bowl full of platynota.

Always love seeing your tortoises!

They are indeed.

Gorgeous tortoises! And great looking tortoise house.

Thanks! I am pretty excited about the whole thing.

Looks like I will have a couple more!

The photo on the left is of my adult females when they were small about 6 yrs ago. The one at the top is the mother of the 3 on the right. The middle one on the left also has eggs cooking.

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!
