Upon arriving home two days ago from a much needed family vacation, I found a newly hatched baby Chersina angulata sitting right next to its mother under the basking light in the enclosure. I had absolutely no idea when this egg was laid, therefore I have no clue how long it incubated for. It’s flawless, robust and just beautiful. I also located the nest and egg shell pieces. It certainly was not there when we left on September 13th, so it did hatch while we were gone. That makes two successful hatches for us here with this species. In addition, my latest article for REPTILES magazine is hitting subscribers now and is all about the bowsprit tortoise. Keep a look out for it in case you’re interested. It came out well, has a good amount of info in it and plenty of photos.
Below are some photos of the new baby and one of it next to Ayanda, the baby that hatched here back in March, so you can see the drastic size difference.
