Here is a picture of a baby Sri Lankan that hatched out on 8/22/2013. Hope I get a few more from this clutch. My fingers are crossed.

AWWWWWW so cute. I LOVE the pattern on the shell. VERY nice. I was thinking of maybe getting one of these but didn't know if I should. These are VERY VERY cute. How big do these tortoises get???

What temperature did you use and what was the length of incubation in days?

My female Sri Lankin is a little over 10 inches, but I am told that females can grow to more than 12 inches. Where as the males stay about 7 or 8 inches.

I incubated them at 86*F and it hatched around 120 days. It could have been longer since the eggs were found outside and I might have missed them by a couple of days.
