Neonate peek-a-boo is my favorite tortoise game. They look great.

Wow, their markings are stunning - especially the first one! Congratulations!

We've had our male Leopard for two summers now; this year he finally began mating.
I read so many different accounts of Leopard mating/laying/hatching times - - this is why I am loving this Forum!

Side by side of some of the color variation.

Awesome torts! Is so exciting when they hatch! Image these the first babies you have hatched, you seem experienced?

You know the neonates are beautiful, but the reason it so easy to see how great they look is because they are photographed so well. Really good job on the photography @Elohi

Beautiful shell patterns and it's neat to see the size differences to.

The first three have all practiced trying to eat various greens and grass. The 4th is still working on her sac.
Babies 5 and 6 are still working on hatching.
Babies 7, 8, and 9 are still in the incubator.

I spend all my free time (ha! What's that?!) staring, I mean observing them LOL.
Because, baby yawns.
Because, trying to taste your clutch mates.
Because, trying out all the new foods the food God offers.
Because, bulldozing everything in your path is your newest found skill.
Because, running from the first time seeing the sun like a vampire at sunrise. Hahahahaha

That reminds me, it's time to use my real camera for these babies. I've just been using my iPhone because it's always handy. Off to charge the battery.
