That is fantastic. Such a rare thing. Thank you for sharing this with us!

I will flip out if you show us hatchling pics in a few months. That would be so incredible...

Hoping for the best.

Thanks Tom,

I have 3 international friends who breed platysternons so getting good advice...It's a very tricky species to breed :)

Okay good. That makes four of you. Now we just need a few thousand more...


Seriously. I LOVE this species. Takes me back to some of the better days of my childhood. It kills me to see the species in such peril, and words cannot express how happy I am to see you having success with them. Thank you for choosing to work with this species, and thank you for being so diligent.
