Very neat split-scute you got going on with that one in the middle. The 3rd vertebral scute...Very interesting.
They are cherries, right?

yes ...they are Pure line gene Brazilian Redfoots aka: "Cherrys " ...I had two in a clutch of 5 that came out with very unusual tiny split scutes.

How big are these little guys right out of the egg? Can you put them next to something for a size comparison? A quarter, golfball, your hand? :) :) Please??

"Scutes" are the "Plates" that make up your tortoise's shell....best laymen term I can think of ...

If yours has 2, I would love to see it, this would be a first :)!.
Usually tortoises have 13 scutes. They are the "spots" basically....5 along the back, 4 along either side. Now, I've seen up to 21 scutes, 13 is just "typical".

Thanks JD!

That is just way too cool to see :) Really gives a good idea of the size!

How I would love to hold a tiny baby like that :)
