Is this normal?

I just got my babie sulcatas last tues, and ive been waiting a few days to see if anything changes with those spots, but they are still there, what are they?

Hi brita21 (did we ever learn your name or where you are?):

That is normal. As the baby ages, the spot will go away.

Yes, I agree ... that is where their yolk sacs were. They will fade away as the tort gets older. Congratulations on your new little ones!

Maybe it's just me,but I hate to see hatchlings being sold before the yolk sac heals.

I agree, I think they should not be sold until at least the yolk sac heals.
