She's very dinky but she was climbing the sides of the tub before when I checked her so don't think being small is going to hold her back lol she can go into the nursery tomorrow her egg sack was pretty much gone so should be ready by tomorrow. Number two baby is taking a bit longer to break out.
Most relaxed parents ever lol

How lovely. I am in awe of the size, so great to see her in your hand and against the coin.

I would be very interested to hear more on the progress and what you actually do with these little ones.

What will she be eating?

Jan she has her forever home lined up already as I have a waiting list for hatchlings, I usually keep them around 3 months as I like to make sure they are doing well and are growing etc I will put her in the same set up as an adult and feed same diet mostly fresh weeds some lambs lettuce etc during these colder months but hatchlings don't need as much food obviously so it's easier to find enough weeds for hatchlings. They are very much self sufficient as soon as they hatch and obviously in the wild would look after themselves. I bath hatchlings daily as they can dehydrate quickly but other than that care is pretty much the same as adults x
