was sent a pic of the heosemys depressa feeding pile by an employee this morning. Couldn’t quite tell what the little guy was that emerged from the soil. After this year infertile depressa eggs from another pair. I surely almost had it. Unfortunately this pen was used by some adult elongated tortoises last winter. Obviously a missed clutch in the ground. So this little elongated was eating with the depressa. Not a hatchling Arakan forest turtle (yet that is). But none the less, can’t go wrong with any hatchling tortoise, especially an elongated.
