What a surprise! I found this little one in my outdoor enclosure (Syrian (golden) Greek). Just a solo, I couldn't find any others and couldn't find anyplace it could have come out of the ground.

My first baby of the year.

Oh geez congratulations! From the title I though you meant in a Walmart parking lot or something. I'm relieved.

Awesome find! Are you planning on raising it? Male or female?

No not keeping, it will probably be available for sale in a couple of weeks once I see that it is eating good and getting along ok.

Won't know about the sex for 2 - 3 yrs in most cases.

Gorgeous baby. What does the umbilical scar look like? Wonder if it was a summer baby from last year that is just now emerging from its winter slumber.

I'll take a look at it tomorrow.

It does still have the egg tooth and is still a little bit "out of round". The picture of it from the top looking down you can see a little bit on the front left.

That makes me think it is a fairly recent hatch.
