FINALLLY HATCHING OUT!!!!!

[tortadise]

After finding out my thermometer I have been using was starting to miss read a few degrees. I adjusted the temp (which was 2 degrees lower than I usually incubate) they started to hatch out of the first clutch today.

This little bugger is 1 hour old. It wanted out.

Always a good day when a turtle hatches.
Congrats!

Oh I know even knowing that they are fertile i still ponder on whether or not they will hatch. It's awesome when they do. They're so small and hilarious, running all over the place living a new world.

Awe, come on... The pic is blurry. What species?

Lol. I didn't take it. One of my caretakers while I'm at work took it. It's a sulcata. I will get better photos when I'm at the facilities. Don't worry.

That's completely out of the egg yes. A few just pipped last night. So here they come.
