My first Leopard Hatchling!

[RandyTortoise]

After 15 weeks, my first leopard egg hatched!

It took about 48 hours from the first crack for it to fully emerge from the shell!

It is super cute with the yolk sac still attached. It is very active and hobbling all over but the egg sac is preventing it from walking properly, which makes it very cute.

I have another egg that just started to crack, so I hope to have about 6 more hatchlings in a week or two!
