leopard eggs 7-7-19.jpg

It took this batch exactly 4 months to hatch.

The previous batch took five months, and all 12 eggs hatched:

And there's still one more clutch in the incubator. William's going to have quite a few babies to sell soon.

That is so amazingly cool! I love my big :tort:, but I do miss that adorable little baby (true of my human, too).

So does it mean that you are keeping them?
Nah. . .I'm already keeping Zipper and Leonard, and there are Lil Kim from SoCal plus my 2.2 factory. That's 2.2.3 common leopard tortoises. That's more than plenty. And with my luck, the zero. 0.3 will probably end up being male.

Yvonne that is so cool. Wish I would of started earlier in life getting involved in torts.
I would have liked to try breeding and hatching torts.

Never to old too try something new. Maybe get an egg from @Tortstork to hatch out yourself.
