What is it? Is it a turtle or tortoise? Where do they come from? Congratulations. :)

Danny I was going to suggest you give them a brief history of the "SPENG" reputation in captivity!

Keeping them alive is totally different than keeping Mediterraneans! Breeding them.. and then hatching them!?!?

Congrats Danny...

It's posted under "Turtle Talk." Isn't it one of the most interesting hatchlings you've ever seen? I'm looking forward to hearing more about it too:)

This is one of the most unique turtles I've ever seen. I always wanted one, but they are so expensive.

Thanks Kelly xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Terry, Candy, Sandy and Terry :)

Thanks for the help Terry with the background and the caresheet :D

They are a wee bit tricky to keep and definately tricky to hatch. Thats the part I found the hardest (trying to keep an egg cool, so it will hatch :p).

I've got 2 more eggs to go. :D

Danny, what do you keep them in? Could you post a picture of their enclosure? I just love these little guys.

Fascinating shell shape! And so tiny. Congratulations and good luck getting all the hatchlings to adulthood.:)

Maybe you could use the English version of Sausage and call him Banger (and one of the others could be Mash)...;)
