Thank you! And yes...I would be Kitty M! I'm also on the TFO forum, Facebook, and Instagram, so you likely have seen me on one of those. I live in Tucson, Arizona.

oh yes sorry it's on your avatar ! keep the info and pictures coming won't you. it's so interesting to hear experiences in other countries. I think I use to watch a chap on u tube who had a rescue in America too, loved reptiles but had lots of tortoises and I learnt lots. I will have to catch up on that also. I miss Steve Irwin because he was a real champion on raising the profile and plights of animals and reptiles, CB

Now that the Forum is back up, I thought I would share some updates and photos. All the hatchlings are doing great, and growing very smoothly. Some have hit the 50-gram mark, mostly the Iberas that grow bigger and faster anyway.

Lovely, they are growing so well!

what lovely images, such nice little tortoises too. Keep them coming won't you - always lovely to see them this time of year as so many of us miss ours when away ! CB

Hatched a beautiful, dark Testudo graeca marokkensis this weekend. I have never seen a darker Moroccan Greek before, so wanted to share.

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Lovely pictures but very big

Yeah, sorry about that. I don't know why it does that. I'm using my mobile phone and have to copy the image link from another source and paste it into the code of my post. When I preview my post before submitting, the photo looks fine. Then I submit and it ends up huge.

There's another tortoise forum I am on, and their format allows me to upload my photos directly, so they appear smaller in the post.

Gorgeous Tortoise. Can you give us a bit of background on Ma and Pa and how they all live over your way. CB
