Neal, What About These?

[onarock]

I know your a fan of my darker leopards, but what do you think about these guys. I'll take pics of the others in the morning, but you can start by checking this one out. This little guy hatched about 2 weeks ago. He weighed 36g 24hrs out of the shell. He now weighs 41g. The mom is the one I've had for 21 years. Her, like all her hatchlings is a beast of a babcocki. Enjoy.

Beast master! I've seen many a leopard hatchling, yours are by far the most unique I have ever seen. The dark head is really cool, I like the white between the marginals too. Great specimen Paul.

What's that little daub of green dye on his back made of?

 

[onarock]

Thanks Neal, you got some sharp little unique ones yourself. I'm feelin' the Love

Oh, so cute. Can't wait to see my little #4 guy. I told Lucy she was getting a little brother and she is so excited to meet him

You can name him/her Eha (pronounced Eh-Ha) meaning 4 in Hawaiian.

Paul, every pic I have seen of the different hatchlings you have produced show exceptional animals, they look good and from our phone conversations thier development and activity is amazing. When these guys hit the east coast it is going to be huge, I have not seen this quality of leopard offered on this coast. Let the Hawaiian invasion begin!!

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Beautiful! Paul, I love to see all the passion you put into your program!

 

[Angi]

They look like little works of art. They are so beautiful.

 

[Kristina]

I agree John open up the gates let the Hawaiians in Oh ahh theres no gate just ship em Are they in the air yet?

 

[onarock]

Thanks for the kind words all. I really love this hobby of ours and nothing makes me happier than the many pics of the well taken cared for tortoises people keep.

Some more of the first ones siblings. They all weighed over 33g 24hrs after hatch.

Theres this guy

And this guy

And my only extra scute guy that weighed over 39g 24hrs after hatch. I'm sure I will end up raising this MONSTER, its hard to find homes for extra/split scute tortoises.

 

[Neal]

Paul, you can really see the 'Leopard' pattern in yours, especially the third picture down. If I didn't know any better I would swear I was looking at leopard skin.

 

[TortieLuver]

Cute lil leos! It is my belief that people feel very strongly one way or another about wanting a "normal" looking tortoise or one with an extra/split scute. Some people are really looking for what's different and special as it's not the norm. I really think you will have no problems selling that one.

 

[DocNezzy]

Beautiful hatchlings. Well done.
