'05 Hatch - TODAY

[Redfoot NERD]

This is how I raise hatchlings - then and now. Watch the dates and ruler in the pics. The drought of '07 had an impact on their "growth" at 2 years old. Some grew fast.. some a little bumpy.. some are "perfect". I'll be adding as we go.

The very first one EVER..

Looks to be female..

First "Sonshine" { Guyana }.. see the "egg-tooth"?

Looks like female..

A few more in just a few..

I knew when this one "pipped" there was color about to show..

Even on the bottom of her feet..

Looks like female..

Terry these are great pics. What a photo album. And three years old. The proof is in the Redfoot (pudding!) Thanks for sharing these with us. Seems like your system is working very well and these pics speak volumes to that effect.

Terry: I'm always struck by how clean your tortoises are. Most tortoises have poop all smeared all over their feet and plastron, and in the sulcata's case...face! Your tortoises are beautiful.

Terry awesome pictures. The third one is my fav. I really like when they have that neck pattern.
