My grand daughter wanted me to send pictures of the turtles and tortoises I have in the house, so I thought I'd share them with you all too. Not the best pictures because I'm sort of in a rush to get outside and do my morning chores.
First the baby leopards. These are just out of the incubator, not even a half hour, and already one is getting himself into trouble:
This is a young Texas tortoise, probably spending his last winter in the house. He's getting big enough now to be an outside tortoise:
These are three desert tortoises that hatched last September. They're well started and will be ready to adopt out this spring:
And finally a young Yellowfooted tortoise. He's about 4 years old now, and still pretty small. I told Jacqui (who has two from this same clutch that are small too) that we're going to have to start referring to them as "rare pygmy yellowfooted tortoises":
