Hi I Have (12 Red Foots & 6 Eggs Awaiting to Hatch) Yours look Great( Laura Hempkin From Scotland)

SCOTLAND?! You keep red-footed tortoises in Scotland?
And you are breeding them?...that is simply amazing. Well done.
I'm sure many of us would love to see images of your arrangements there in another thread.

Left the house since there was no electricity (too hot for kiddies). Came back three days later and these guys were out. Two mango babies (cdmay's darth-grandbabies) and one Squeeze/wicked baby. Something good came out of the hurricane. All solid keeper babies.

Mango 1-nice head/legs and color on the neck-

Beautiful Babies. Love all the red on their heads and necks. My little tort has alot of red on its head, too.

They are beautiful. I also got five eggs from Princess Bumpy. Raffle is a proud Dad. How long does it take for them to hatch. This is my first time.

Takes anywhere for 3-7 months depending on the temps and viability. The higher the temps the quicker they cook, but an increase in defects. Slow and steady is how I roll. Your patience will be tested with the long long wait ahead.
