Hatchling!

[dbmarshall]

I found a hatchling in my outdoor habitat!!!!! We adopted 3 box turtles last spring (two ornate and one three toed)...but this came as a total surprise. We've been preparing the habitat for I didn't even know our girl had laid eggs! I am trying to research more about the breeding process and how to raise a hatchling. I've brought it inside as we are expecting cold weather this week. Any advice??
