This young female we raised from under 3 inches. She is laying her first egg here, 2 weeks ago...............

Then today another female was seen doing this................

Stay tuned in 3-6 months for hatchling photos!!!

I vaguely remember that you and Robin moved from one location to a different one some time back. I thoroughly enjoyed your habitat pictures from your old place and was waiting (patiently) for pictures in your new place.

Congrats on the pancake eggs, but how about some new habitat pictures!!

We did move. The indoor habitats are the exact same ones. The tortoise room they are in is custom with a radiant heated floor and all!! There is a separate kitchen with fridge and all just off the tort room, just for tort and amphibian food. That is where the black worms live when I have them for baby newts.
The outdoor enclosures took a lot of work this summer. It is about 3 times as big as the previous yard. So there were not too many photos taken.
Here is one from a few weeks ago!! It shows half the pens.

I will see if I can find one so you can see the overview. Next year there should be some pictures with it grown in and all.

They sure get into their nest digging, looks like both of them ended up wearing some of the substrate. Congrats!

Yes they can really fling that dirt. It is something else to watch!!

The substrate in the nest box is a mixture of sand and peat moss. The female in the first picture is nearly 6. The female in the second pic is a 13+ LTC so who knows??
