After 180 days this time, we welcome IHOP to the world. The picture is very poor, taken with my phone. More certainly will come tomorrow, trying to leave the little one alone tonight. Different mother, a lot longer incubation time. It will be interesting to see if all of hers take significantly longer than the other female's. We are keeping track of all the data. :D

AJ is doing very well. She has more than doubled her weight. She is up to 35 grams. She is going to her permanent home tomorrow. Our oldest daughter is a bit upset about her leaving. :(

As for this new one, we have not seen her carapace yet. She/he is still in the egg. Probably tomorrow we will get to see the carapace. :D

Yes it is. It is her first egg. So far all that she has laid have been fertile. :D More pictures to come later. She/He is completely out of the shell, has a much smaller yolk sac this time, no extra scutes!

It is a Pancake tort. The carapace will stay flat but the pattern will change as he/she grows. Either tonight or tomorrow she/he will get moved to the NICU. There is still a pea size yolk sac. The plastron is almost completely flattened out, amazing.
