Well some of you wanted to see growth photos of the baby Radiata I posted some time ago. I have been meaning to do this for a few weeks now but every time I try something else comes up and I never get around to it.

Wow! The development is amazing to see! I definitely need to get some hatchling radiata so I can watch that in person. Thanks for posting those!

Nice looking tort, I always liked the shell pattern on them.

 

[Sky2Mina]

Wow! They are gonna be soooooo beautiful when they grow up... I mean they're beautiful already, but they're gonna have an even more amazing pattern when they're bigger.
I love radiatas, they seem so gentle and their face/skincolor looks funny

I'm still stunned by their beauty even after picking my jaw up from the floor.

Is this a normal radiated tortoise baby? Pardon my ignorance as I am trying to learn about this exceptional species.

Thanks everyone, yes there are a few of them how be it few and far between. I will get around to posting photos of the others at some point I'm sure, just busy this time of year. If your serious about getting this bloodline email me...
