I thought I'd be doing this more often :p but better late than never. :D
Here is the un-named (though I'm leaning towards Possum if Kelly's not going to use it ) Chaco tortoise hatchling. She is getting big. She is 54g and 2 1/2" SCL.

What a nice little Chaco. Chestnut would be a good name for this one.

Oh, man, how did I miss this thread?!

She is gorgeous! And what a perfect shell...that still hurts that we messed up Taco's so badly.

I like the name Possum. :D

Is this the one that hatched out a couple months ago? I know you've been trying to get healthy Chaco babies for a long time, is this the first one? Did any of the other eggs make it?

I hope she grows up strong and healthy and produces lots more cousins for Taco. I will share this photo with her, with the standard disclaimer that Taco is still "the fairest in the land" (mature beauty vs. that cutsie Gerber baby image.) :p

Here's The Big Question for you, Danny. Why do you think it's so hard to produce healthy Chaco babies in the U.S.?

Thanks everyone :)

This is the one and the same Stephanie :) Well more a long time trying to find a female to give me healthy hatchlings :D I've only been trying with eggs for 2 years. It seems to be tough finding females, than getting them settled enough to lay eggs, than the fun of getting the eggs to break their diapause (a period of the incubation where development stops and an outside stimulis (usually temperature) is needed to restart development).
I have 3 more eggs in the incubator that were laid 10/25/09. They have finally started to develop and I should get more hatchling about a year after the eggs were laid. :D
