I'm still waiting on 4 from my 1-26 clutch and now 4 from my 3-5 clutch are hatching. So weird when they decide to hatch out. Yours seem a little early, I'll bet they will be all female due to the incubation temps. Is that what you were shooting for?

Congrats on the babies. Are these your first? Its an amazing feeling isn't it? It never gets old either.

What exciting news! Are these the eggs from the clutch where I guessed 13 would hatch?

Congrats! Hatching tortoises are so rewarding and it's make you feel like they are your own or like a kid at Christmas time.
