Some recent hatchlings...

Just cause

Up to 16 at the moment. 17 should be pipping any day now. Should be a couple more left to hatch.

Always a nice way to start the day...

Varies of course according to the size it is. It also seems to vary from tortoise to tortoise. Some of them can take 5 days, some of them can take 2 days. The huge yolk sacs typically lean towards 5-6 days. The size of the one in the picture is usually gone in 24 hours.

welcome, lil red...!
