 |
|
I hatched my first wood turtle exactly a week ago 
Didn't post before becuase I wanted to make sure that it was feeding - its taken a good few days, but finally found something that it devours - a nice juicy earthworm!
Its about the size of an old 50p piece and really cute, I will try and post a pic soon.

Cheers Peter, I'm well chuffed. I only got one egg, and have incubated this for well over 100 days, so am really pleased to get this fella out!

I've had a go at photographing my turtles. Rhinoclemmys pulcherimma manni, Painted wood turtles.
Pretty poor pics but here goes....
First the hatchling, then an adult.
Are this the ones your friend has Scott?

Stunning shell patternisation. Really clear on the hatchling. Thanks for sharing.
