Thanks all it is amazing to see such a tiny tort hatch and to have a breach baby. The second one should be out within 48 hours I hear. I just can't stop smiling. And I can't believe Comet was that small.

She looks great Kelly :D With that small of a yolk sack she should be coming out of the incubator in no more than 2 days.
Like Terry said Welcome to the World of Greek Tortoise Breeders :cool:

Robyn you'll save and remember that pic of the 1st PIP forever!!!
BOWDOWN-1.gif


[ Not to "piggy-back" your post ] I'll always remember this first pip..

The first egg was laid on July 30, 2004 - see the "pip date"? { didn't think I was ever going to have an egg hatch }

The smile never leaves.. like picking up the egg after it pips to put it into the nursery incubator.. and feeling it squirm inside the egg!

Your right Terry, I will always remember that first pip, and the feeling of that little life squirming inside the egg. Watching it work so hard to get out. What a rush. I now know what you feel every time you look at your pic above :D
I know the people at work think I'm a certifiable Nut the way I was showing off "baby" Pictures today. Wait until tomorrow. I have new ones to share Hatchling #2 is here.

I need to figure out how to post the date on my camera. Ok more reading coming up. Soon as I find the instruction book.

Thanks to all. You made it a lot easier to hatch this little shelled wonder. And of course to share it with :)
