Thansk for the nice replys. They hatched out sat. and sun. I just took them out of the incubator yesterday and got them set up in their new enclosure. They had their first nibbles of food today and have discovered the joy of burrowing, which is why they look so dirty already.

I DO like them. They are beautiful.

Are there pics of the parents posted somewhere? Do you want to sell them eventually?

Hey Anthony, wanna split them?

I do have to agree nothing cuter than a baby tort.
They weigh in at 19 and 21 grams which is right around where all my new hatchlings come in at.

Here is a pic of the mom she is just under 8 inches SCL and weighs 3lbs 5oz. I have had her the longest about 10 years. She is wild caught and the only one that I have bought from a pet store

This is dad he is 5.5 inches SCL and weighs 1 lb. 4oz. I have had him about 2 years he was bought along with another of my females off of craigslist. I am still working on getting his beak trimmed down. I have been trying to do it by just feeding him on slate and rough tiles, but really doesn't seem to be doing any good I will probably have to get the vet to do it.

Glad you all like the pics I still have two eggs in the incubator from the same female. They look good so keeping my fingers crossed I should have 2 more in 2 weeks. I am pretty excited because my success rate for this female has been about 20%.

Tom, yes I will be selling them. I unfortunately only have so much room. lol.
