Congrats! That's a lot of time. When you see all the time, love, and effort you put into the eggs, you are probably going to end up keeping all of them..ha, ha.

What patience, tenacity and dedication. I hope the chaco babies will be just as strong as your determination. Congratulations!

I love this species. How many eggs are you still sitting on? How big was the clutch? Are you selling any?

Your adults look like a cross between a sulcata and a CDT. Two of my favorites. Maybe that's why this species is so appealing to me.

Congratulations to you!

So that's why he's getting them, Danny's sitting on the eggs!!!

I am drawn to them also Tom and I think for the same reasons...

OMG!!! Taco and I are on pins and needles, waiting to see her little cousin hatch out!

And now I am even more paranoid about letting Taco roam around outside. Do you have any idea what kind of creature *GULP* "took" the head off your female Chaco?

Thanks Everyone

No I don't know what happened to her Stephanie I was at the National Breeders Expo and found her when I came home.
It hasn't happened to another tortoise before or since.

I just noticed in that last picture, the coloring in the scute kinda looks like the Dodge Ram emblem on the hood of my truck.

As per the missing head I would guess raccoon, I have lost a couple of RES to them and they always eat the head.

 

[egyptiandan]

More pictures and yes she is finally out. Some from last night and this morning.

[jackiedots]

Omg.......what brilliant photos. So cute..... Congratulations !

 

[ChiKat]

Such a pretty little baby!!

 

[Kristina]

Is calling it "she" wishful thinking, or do you actually have some inkling at that tiny of a size?

Did you incubate for female?

She is totally gorgeous, the little smushed up thing

 

[Stephanie Logan]

Absolutely darling!

Congratulations. Taco says, "Woot, woot!"
